Making Your Own Pasta

Carlo was able to show us how easy it is to make your own pasta! The extra effort pays off when you taste the pasta for the first time...no store bought pasta can beat this!

Ingredients:

  • 400g White flour
  • 4 Eggs
  • Pinch of salt
Method:
  1. Spread the flour so that it make a circle
  2. Make a whole in the middle of the circle for the eggs to go in
  3. Add the salt
  4. Knead the dough for as long as possible (try for at least 10min)
  5. The pasta must be smooth, firm and quite elastic
  6. Leave standing for 10 - 20 min
  7. Spread the dough and use a rolling pin to flatten
  8. The best thing to do is buy a pasta machine
