egg dough

Fresh pasta mixture

Egg dough is pasta dough made with eggs rather than just flour and water.

The eggs add richness, color, and structure, producing a tender yet firm texture ideal for fresh noodles, ravioli, and tagliatelle: She rolled out the egg dough by hand.

The term distinguishes it from eggless varieties used in some Italian and Asian traditions.
