This Homemade Angel Hair Pasta with Brown Butter Sage Sauce is an amazingly delicious, simple homemade recipe that the whole family will love.

Once you have made your own pasta you will never want to go back to boxed again…ever! Making pasta is a lot easier than it sounds, and it is worth the extra 20 minutes to do so. With two simple ingredients, you can have your own choice of noodles, spaghetti, angel hair or linguine.

This is a fun and worthwhile activity to do with kids. Now, only invite them to do so if you have extra time. I had 5 little ones home with me and each of them wanted to knead, roll, and put the dough through the pasta machine. What should have been a 20-minute adventure turned into over an hour. But hey, we were having fun and the time actually went by quickly. Of course, I had to start a flour throwing fight. I mean come on, what would pasta making be without a little flour EVERYWHERE!

Enjoy this simple and easy recipe with your favorite sauce. Jake and I enjoyed a homemade a brown butter sage sauce and for the kids, I made some homemade marinara. This recipe will have you vowing never to use boxed pasta noodles ever again!

How do you make Homemade Angel Hair Pasta with Brown Butter Sage Sauce?

Pasta

Add flour to a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Crack eggs into the center of the well. Mix together with your hands.
Once well-combined, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead. You can do this however you like, roll, punch, or push down by hand until it is smooth and pliable, adding flour to the board if necessary.
Let the dough rest for at least 10 minutes before rolling it out.
Divide dough into 4 balls, this makes it easier to roll out.
If using a pasta machine, roll the ball into a 1/2 inch thick sheet. Roll it through the press following the machine directions until it reaches your desired thickness. Set aside for 10 minutes on a floured surface.
If rolling it out by hand, set on a floured surface and use a rolling pin until its as thin as it will go without tearing. Let it sit for 10 minutes, this will make it easier to cut.
Using a pizza cutter or a very sharp knife, cut into very thin slices.
I let my pasta sit and dry out all day, I make the noodles in the morning and then cook them right before dinner. You can do this or cook the noodles right away.
To cook the noodles, boil them in salted water (very important!) for around two minutes. If you have let the noodles sit all day this make take a minute longer, check at 2 minutes. They cook really fast, so don’t let them go too long.

Sauce

While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a saute pan and stir until it foams up and turns a golden brown color. Add sage leaves and remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice and set aside.
Drain the pasta, setting aside a small amount of cooking water. Pour pasta and water into the sauce and return to heat. Add the cheese, toss to coat, and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Growing up, my mother ONLY served us homemade pasta. I don’t do it myself because I don’t have the time, but it;s a treat when she invites us over to her her for it when she makes it.

I’ve always wondered how easy it is to make your own noodles! Now I want to try this, it looks really yummy!! 🙂

I’ve never had or made homemade pasta, but this looks really good. Might be time to try it!

This sounds doable. I was always afraid of trying to make pasta. I wonder if I will get similar results with gluten free flour. I’m definitely going to try it, because I like fresh pasta and I want my family to have home made it as often as possible.

I have always wanted to make my own pasta, but was afraid. I just may go ahead and do it now! Thanks for the inspiration! Love the look of determination in the first picture. So cute!

oh my goodness. my mouth is watering!

This looks delish! I haven’t made my own pasta in forever.

That is pretty neat! I need a pasta machine!

This looks sooo good and fun to make too! I would love to try this!

I so want a pasta machine. I have hormonal reactions to soy and that is in almost every boxed pasta. Thanks for the recipe 🙂 It looks very yummy!!

Oh my goodness, we had a pasta machine just like that when I was growing up and for my birthday every year my daddy and I would make fettuccine together… it was so much fun

you are my hero, so worth the work to make it homemade, makes a world of difference in the taste!

That looks delicious!

I believe that the most delicious pasta is the pasta you made yourself, especially if you make it with your kids! It is not only about cooking, it is about spending quality time together with your loved ones. 🙂

I learned to make noodles with my Grandmother, great family traditions

Okay! It’s time! My husband has been after me for over a year to try my hand at making homemade pasta! I’m in the market for the pasta attachment for my KitchenAide!

I have never made homemade pasta. I need to try it. That Brown Butter Sage sauce sounds so delicious. I have to try it.

I NEED that bowl of pasta in my life! It looks so fabulous. And I agree, homemade pasta is the best!

Alright, this just looks like way too much fun, and so yummy! I need to get a pasta machine. Thank you for this 🙂

Looks delish! I love the pics! 🙂

There’s a definite difference in flavor with homemade pasta. I’d love to give that a try sometime myself. And your sauce looks delicious too!

I liked reading this different approach to pasta and sauce, much nicer than the regular marinara I make for the kids.

Homemade pasta looks like it would be so much work! But I know it’s a ton healthier than store bought. Definitely love to try. Such cute pics you have here! Looks like the kids just had such a great time!

I have never made my own pasta, but have always wanted to try it. Thanks for the recipe.

I love PASTA! Pinned! This looks amazing!

Wow just the post name had my attention and the pic did me in. I want to make this now.

Great recipe. I love making homemade pasta and I don’t do it enough. Thanks for the great “push” to get back in the kitchen and make fresh pasta. Love the sauce too!
