Recipe for homemade lasagna sheets
Homemade lasagna sheets are easier to make than you might think.
The dough must, of course, be mixed together and rested, but after that, it’s easy and takes only a short time. Unlike pasta, lasagna sheets only need to be rolled out into sheets, not cut into strips, squares, or other intricate shapes and figures. It’s also okay if the sheets aren’t perfectly straight at the edges, as long as they roughly fit into the dish you’re using.
If you haven’t tried making your own pasta yet, lasagna sheets are a great place to start – and they taste far better than anything you can buy!

Homemade Lasagna Sheets
Make your own fresh lasagna sheets from scratch with just two ingredients! These homemade pasta sheets are easy to roll out, require no pre-cooking, and bring a tender, authentic texture to your lasagna. Perfect for layering with rich sauces and flavorful fillings.
Ingredients
- 200 gram Tipo 0 Flour
- 2 pcs. Egg
Instructions
- Mix flour and eggs in a large bowl until the dough is combined and uniform. Add a little water if the dough doesn’t come together properly. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour. When rolling the dough with a rolling pin, it’s best to divide the dough into five equal pieces and roll them out one at a time. Keep the remaining dough covered in the meantime. Sprinkle some flour on the kitchen counter and roll out one piece of dough. Sprinkle with flour and roll until the dough is so thin it is almost transparent. Dust it well with flour and cut the dough into sheets with a sharp knife. Immediately lay them to dry on clean and floured kitchen towels. Avoid letting the sheets stick together or fold. The pasta should ideally lie free until it is used. You now have your own, homemade lasagna sheets, which you can use in all your lasagna recipes. Follow the method for fresh lasagna sheets.
Notes
If you don’t feel up to making your own lasagna sheets, then use fresh lasagna sheets from the chilled section. The taste and texture of the fresh sheets are noticeably better than the dried ones.
