pasta

How do I make it?

Re: pasta

ummm.... boil a pan of water, add a little salt (not compulsory but helps the absorption of water into the pasta), put the pasta in and let it boil for 15 - 20 mins (depending on the type of pasta), drain, add some butter if you wish and eat.

But have a pasta sauce with it as well otherwise plain pasta is just boring.

Re: pasta

Make it... from scratch? It's not that hard...

You need good quality large eggs and unbleached 00 flour. Put the flour on the work top, make a well in the centre, crack the eggs in, and begin to incorporate. Bind the mixture together until it becomes a single mass. Start to knead it until the ball becomes silky smooth. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for around 15mins. Flour a clean kitchen surface, and with a rolling pin, begin flattening out the dough until it is very thin. Then simply cut out the dough into ravioli/farfalle/lasagne/whatever pieces you like. Or if you want long pasta like linguine, fettuccine, spaghetti, tagliatelle etc and can't use a knife to cut such small dimensions so precisely, then use a pasta machine. :)
