How to Make Beautifully Simple Fresh Pasta for Valentine’s Day

Whoever said fresh pasta is hard work, clearly did not enjoy Play-Doh as a child. We won’t pretend this is a Monday-night-level easy recipe, but it’s absolutely doable for a special occasion like Valentine’s Day. If you’re looking for a fun date activity, a delicious dinner AND a cozy night in with your boo, I highly recommend this surprisingly simple fresh pasta recipe. And while there’s no shame in a jar of Prego, we’ve also thrown in a simple, but classic tomato sauce recipe to round out the whole “OMG we made that from scratch” sense of accomplishment. Ready to get rolling? So are we.

Ingredients:

For the pasta

  • 1 ½ cup all purpose flour (+ extra on the side)
  • 2 whole eggs and 2 egg yolks
  • pinch of salt

Pasta Making Supplies:

  • pasta roller (we used the KitchenAid attachments, but a hand crank roller works too)
  • OR a rolling pin (yes! This works too!!)

Instructions:

For the pasta

  1. Crack two full eggs into a bowl. Then separate the yolks from two more eggs and add just the yolks to the bowl, setting the whites aside.
  2. On a clean countertop, make a large well with the flour and fill the middle with the eggs and a pinch of salt.
  3. Carefully whisk the eggs and salt in the middle with a fork, and slowly incorporate the flour into it as you mix. Use your hands to keep the flour well barriers up to prevent the egg from spilling out as you mix.
  4. When almost fully combined (but probably still sticky), knead the dough with your hands and continue adding flour until it is no longer sticky and resembles a smooth (but not cracked) ball of Play-Doh.
  5. Flatten your dough into a one-inch-thick disc, wrap in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour. Skip to the recipe below to get started on the sauce!
  6. When the hour’s up, unwrap your pasta dough and cut into fourths with a knife. Roll out one quarter at a time with a rolling pin until it forms a wide oval that is about 1/4-inch thick. Wrap the other three quarters of your dough back in plastic wrap so they don’t dry out while you work with the first fourth.
  7. TECHNIQUE 1 — PASTA ROLLER: You can now feed your 1/4-inch-thick oval through on the widest setting (usually number 1). Roll it through that setting 2-3 times and then roll through once per setting until you reach number 6. Set your flattened pasta sheet aside on a floured surface and repeat with the other three fourths of your dough. Once you have all four sheets ready to go, switch your roller to the spaghetti or fettuccine attachment and feed it through to cut your noodles.
  8. TECHNIQUE 2 — ROLLING PIN: No roller, no problem! Grab your go-to rolling pin (or heck, a wine bottle works), and roll your fourths of dough into long, thin ovals. Keep rolling until your dough is just a couple of millimeters thick (about 10 minutes’ time, if you’re putting some muscle behind it). Then cut your pasta sheets lengthwise into noodles (at whatever thickness you’d like!) using a knife.
  9. Any way you slice it, your noodles will now need a good toss in flour so that they don’t stick together. Carefully toss with your hands, and once they look lightly coated in flour, spread them out onto a floured cookie sheet and either leave on the counter to use immediately or stick in the fridge, uncovered, to use later.
  10. Cook your fresh pasta in boiling water for 5-7 minutes, or until al dente, and then drain before topping with sauce and serving! Makes enough for 3-4 servings of pasta.

Ingredients:

For the classic marinara sauce

  • 1 can (28 ounces) San Marzano canned whole tomatoes
  • 7 cloves of garlic
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • pinch of red chile flakes
  • fresh basil

Instructions:

For the marinara

  1. Crush the tomatoes and the juice that comes in the can in a large bowl using a metal spatula or potato masher and set aside.
  2. Peel, crush and mince the garlic (or put it through a garlic crusher) and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a deep skillet (this will cook faster than in a saucepan), and then add crushed garlic.
  4. When the garlic starts to sizzle, stir in the tomatoes, salt and red chile flakes, and then place a whole sprig of basil on top of the sauce.
  5. Let simmer uncovered for 30-45 minutes, or until most of the water has evaporated and the sauce has thickened.
  6. Remove and discard the basil before serving on top of fresh pasta.
  7. Garnish with a fresh sprig of basil and grated Parmesan or fresh mozzarella cheese, as desired.

MAKING THE PASTA DOUGH

Crack two full eggs into a bowl. Then separate the yolks from two more eggs and add just the yolks to the bowl, setting the whites aside.

On a clean countertop, make a large well with the flour and fill the middle with the eggs and a pinch of salt. Carefully whisk the eggs and salt in the middle with a fork, and slowly incorporate the flour into it as you mix. Use your hands to keep the flour well barriers up to prevent the egg from spilling out as you mix.

IRL FAIL: Okay guys, I’ll be honest. I let the egg escape from the well! It spilled out onto the counter but I quickly scooped it back up into the remaining flour and mixed it up with my hands anyways! So if all egg breaks loose, you’ve still got this!

When almost fully combined (but probably still sticky), knead the dough with your hands and continue adding flour until it is no longer sticky and resembles a smooth (but not cracked) ball of Play-Doh. Flatten your dough into a one-inch-thick disc, wrap in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for one hour.

Grab a glass of wine and chill out for an hour! Or… start preparing your sauce with the following recipe for a killer classic marinara!

MAKING THE SAUCE

Crush the tomatoes and the juice that comes in the can in a large bowl using a metal spatula or potato masher and set aside.

Peel, crush and mince the garlic (or put it through a garlic crusher) and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a deep skillet (this will cook faster than in a saucepan), and then add crushed garlic. When the garlic starts to sizzle, stir in the tomatoes, salt and red chile flakes, and then place a whole sprig of basil on top of the sauce. Let simmer uncovered for 30-45 minutes or until most of the water has evaporated and the sauce has thickened. Remove and discard the basil before serving on top of fresh pasta.

ROLLING OUT + CUTTING THE PASTA

When the hour is up, unwrap your pasta dough and cut into fourths with a knife. Sprinkle with some extra flour so you can work with it without sticking to the counter top.

Roll out one quarter at a time with a rolling pin until it forms a wide oval that is about 1/4-inch thick. Wrap the other three quarters of your dough back in plastic wrap so they don’t dry out while you work with the first fourth.

TECHNIQUE 1 — PASTA ROLLER: You can now feed your 1/4-inch thick oval through on the widest setting (usually number one). Roll it through that setting 2-3 times and then roll through once per setting until you reach number six. Set your flattened pasta sheet aside on a floured surface and repeat with the other three fourths of your dough!

Once you have all four sheets ready to go, switch your roller to the spaghetti or fettuccine attachment and feed it through to cut your noodles.

Check out that beautiful waterfall of carbs!

TECHNIQUE 2 — ROLLING PIN: No roller, no problem! Grab your go-to rolling pin (or heck, a wine bottle works), and roll your fourths of dough into long, thin ovals. Keep rolling until your dough is just a couple of millimeters thick (about 10 minutes’ time, if you’re putting some muscle behind it).

Then cut your pasta sheets lengthwise into noodles (at whatever thickness you’d like!) using a knife.

Any way you slice it, your noodles will now need a good toss in flour so that they don’t stick together. Carefully toss with your hands, and once they look lightly coated in flour, spread them out onto a floured cookie sheet and either leave on the counter to use immediately or stick in the fridge, uncovered, to use later. Covering them will trap moisture and cause them to get sticky and gross, so let ’em breathe!

You know what to do! Cook your fresh pasta in boiling water for 5-7 minutes (fresh cooks fast!), or until al dente, and then drain before serving.

Top off those noodles with sauce and garnish with a fresh sprig of basil and grated Parmesan or fresh mozzarella cheese, as desired.

This pasta makes a seriously fun date night at home or fun activity to do with friends or kids.

Pat yourself on the back for a job well done and dig in!

No matter what kind of day you're having, Marissa Cooper's having a worse one. Mischa Barton's The O.C. character went through the ringer during the first three seasons of the teen drama (remember how she overdosed in Tijuana...and also saw her parents post-hookup after their divorce?).

And during her time on The O.C., Mischa Barton struggled with drug and alcohol abuse. She was arrested for a DUI in 2007 and eventually received involuntary psychiatric hospitalization in 2009 after allegedly threatening to end her own life. And in a new interview, Peter Gallagher (who played Sandy Cohen on the show) says he's "just so grateful" for "the fact that she’s still alive."

  • Mischa Barton starred alongside Peter Gallagher in The O.C. from 2003-2006.
  • The actress has revealed the "trauma" of being a star at that point in her life.
  • Peter recently opened up about how he's thankful "she’s still alive."

The O.C. follows Ryan Atwood, who moves in with the Cohens after getting kicked out of his mom's house, and starts a relationship with Marissa shortly after. While Peter Gallagher played Adam Brody's TV dad instead of Mischa's, Sandy was a definitely father figure for Marissa, and it seems like Peter felt that same responsibility off camera.

"I’ve always felt very protective of her," Peter told The Independent. "First fame is toxic. First fame can kill you. She was 16 years old when she started working with us, so just the fact that she’s still alive, I’m just so grateful."

“You can go to therapy every day for the rest of your life,” Mischa said in a 2023 interview with The Sunday Times. “There’s just a certain amount of trauma [from] all that I went through, particularly in my early twenties, that just doesn’t go away overnight.”

Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage revealed that season 1 overdose not only served as a cliffhanger, but gave “network executives an escape hatch on a performer they had been wary about” (via People). But Mischa Barton got her big break, becoming "how people knew the show," and (thankfully) Marissa recovered — only to die after a car crash in season 3.

As hard as that season 3 ending is to watch, Mischa did have the opportunity to watch it with Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke for the first time on their rewatch podcast. "It needed to be a thing, after everything she's been through, but if it's here I'll watch it with you," Mischa says.

"I couldn't do it, Mischa, I couldn't do it," Rachel adds. "But I'm going to do it if you're going to do it."

Mischa says even though being written off the show "was a little bit of a bummer," it wasn't necessarily a surprise. "The character was just doing too much," she told Vanity Fairin 2023. "And I think they ran out of places for her to go. It was not the best thing in the world, [but] there wasn’t much you could do at that point. It was whether she could sail off into the sunset, or die. At that point, I guess it’s better to have the more dramatic ending.”

Matzo (also spelled matzah or matza) is an unleavened flatbread made with just flour and water and can be used in everything from matzo ball soup to kugels, casseroles, and even desserts.

Former Disney Channel star Dylan Sprouse and model Barbara Palvin are certainly living the sweet life after tying the knot in Palvin's native Hungary. The couple, who have been together for nearly five years, have always been pretty low-key — except for the occasional and undeniably adorable Instagram post (and a stunning wedding!). We are simply ~obsessed~ with this celebrity couple, especially after they pulled out all the stops for their couple's Halloween costume. Keep scrolling to see some of their best moments :').

See Dylan Sprouse & Barbara Palvin's Halloween Couple's Costume!

For Halloween Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin stunned as the Phantom and Christine from Phantom of the Opera. Dylan wore a mask and a black cape, while Barbara wore a beautiful white dress. While the costume is obviously a nod to the musical, it also totally reminds us of their day as bride and groom.

"In Sleep He Sang to Me," Barbara said in a post, quoting the musical's titular number. "@dylansprouse my forever Phantom."

Who did Dylan Sprouse marry?

www.instagram.com

On the couple's wedding day (July 15, 2023), Barbara wore a Vivienne Westwood wedding gown to celebrate her Hungarian nuptials, bringing together their nearest and dearest for an intimate(-ish) celebration. Barbara and Dylan tied the knot on her parent's property, which conveniently doubles as an event venue, with plans to host an larger wedding in California in the fall.

"This past weekend was supposed to be an intimate event, but we ended up having 115 guests in the end because there are a lot of people we care about, and we wanted them all to be there," Barbara told Vogue.

When did Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin get engaged?

www.instagram.com

Barbara Palvin on Instagram: "♥️"

After months of speculation surrounding the couple's engagement, Dylan and Barbara confirmed their engagement in conversation with Sprouse's twin brother, actor Cole Sprouse, for V Magazine in June, sharing that they got engaged last September.

"We didn't necessarily feel the need to be fully transparent with the public about that aspect of our engagement," Dylan said. "What we wanted to do with Stephen [Gan, V editor-in-chief] and the V team is make something that was kind of tongue-in-cheek about the nature of private versus public. We're playing with the idea of perception."

Barbara noted that the lovebirds wanted to announce the news "on our time," adding, "When some people leaked the information that we got engaged, our PR team was like, 'Hey, so you guys should do maybe a post about it or talk to this magazine or talk to that magazine…' That really annoyed me because I knew we were building this story up. So, I'm very happy that we ended up doing it our way."

When did Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse start dating?

According to People, the couple met back in 2017 after a party when the Suite Life On Deck star slid into the model’s DMs (and as they say, the rest is history). The duo made their relationship Instagram official back in 2018 with Barbara’s sweet birthday tribute for Dylan’s 26th birthday.

Let’s be real here for a second though, we all knew they were endgame the minute Dylan went above and beyond to support Barbara at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show that same year (remember this viral video?). Three days after the fashion show, the Hungarian model told Vogue Australia that she hadn’t had a boyfriend in six years, but had now found “the perfect guy” in Dylan (we aren’t crying, you are).

How old are Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse?

Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images

Barbara Palvin was born on October 8, 1993, making her 31 years old. Dylan Sprouse was born on August 4, 1992, meaning he's 32 years old. So there's only a one-year age gap between them!
