How to make fresh pasta at home

fresh pasta

Preparing fresh pasta at home is not difficult. The ingredients we need are only two: flour, eggs. We have to mix them until we get a dough like the one seen in the photo. Then we will only have to extend it until we get very, very thin sheets and give it the desired shape.

To spread it we can use a roller and, better yet, the grandmother gosling, which is how the specific machine is called in Italy. This machine also allows us to cut the already extended dough, for example, in the form of tagliatelle.

Do you sell special flours to prepare fresh pasta. We also find eggs with the orangeiest yolk on the market, perfect for these preparations.

Remembering the proportions of flour and egg is very easy. It is always 1 egg per 100 g of flour. Easy right? Do not add salt, we will put this ingredient later, in the cooking water.

Fresh pasta is cooked in slightly salty water. When the water boils, add the salt and let it cook for a few minutes (it takes much less cooking time than dry pasta). Once cooked, we drain it slightly and serve it with our sauce favorite.
