Ingredient: Pasta - Home made

Category: Pasta & Noodles

Season: All

It is very hard work kneading pasta, and then you are faced with a lump of very resilient, elastic dough which needs to be rolled and stretched out to a transparent thinness!

It can be difficult too, to obtain the correct ingredients (although a strong flour will do).

If you want to get really serious about home-made pasta you could, of course, invest in a pasta machine. It’s a sort of mangle which can be adjusted to different pasta shapes, and it squeezes and presses the pasta out thinly, which does eliminate a lot of hard work.

Unless, you an absolute perfectionist, a good quality packaged pasta will save time, effort and make an excellent dish.
