The boiling time for homemade pasta can vary depending on the type and thickness of the pasta. As a general rule, fresh homemade pasta typically cooks faster than dried store-bought pasta.

Here are some approximate boiling times for homemade pasta:

  • Thin pasta, such as angel hair or spaghetti: 1-2 minutes

  • Medium-thick pasta, such as fettuccine or linguine: 2-3 minutes

  • Thick pasta, such as lasagna sheets or pappardelle: 3-4 minutes

To determine if your pasta is cooked to your liking, taste a small piece. The pasta should be tender but still slightly firm (al dente). Drain the pasta immediately and serve with your desired sauce.
