Roma - who had a poor start to the season - moved up to fifth, three points behind Napoli and 11 points behind Inter.
Jose Mourinho’s side took the lead in the 20th minute when Dybala floated in a free kick and Gianluca Mancini beat his marker to head the ball in across the face of goal.
Udinese equalised in the 57th when Martín Payero whipped in a cross for Florian Thauvin to head in at the back post.
Roma restored their advantage nine minutes from time with a great team move finished when Romelu Lukaku backheeled the ball to Dybala, who drilled it into the bottom left corner.
Lukaku also had a hand in Roma’s third, in the final minute, as he controlled a long ball before laying it off to Edoardo Bove, who passed it first time for El Shaarawy to sweep into the far bottom corner.
