If you like fresh pasta, then this is for you! Its so easy to make, can be cooked on the spot (only flour and egg needed) and it’s so delicious! Traditionally skryliai are served with sour cream sauce together with fried lardons, however it works well with any other pasta sauces or toppings.

SKRYLIAI

  • 250g plain flour
  • 1 egg
  • pinch of salt
  • water as needed

1. Mix flour with salt and egg. Gradually add water while kneading until it forms a solid dough. For best results leave the dough to rest for 15 min or so before rolling it out.

2. Roll the dough out.

3. Cross cut the dough to little diamond shapes ;-).

Rectangular pieces of rolled out fresh pasta dough cut into diamond shapes, lightly dusted with flour, arranged on a wooden surface.

4. Cook pasta in boiling, slightly salted water for 5min.

5. Drain the pasta and serve it with your favourite sauce and topping. Here I have topped it with stir fried vegetables and some parmesan cheese.
