HOW TO MAKE ITALIAN PASTA FROM SCRATCH

Making homemade pasta from scratch results in a far superior meal. Homemade bowtie pasta is one shape that kids love. It also holds onto your favorite sauce very well.

When I had the chance to attend a cooking class with a private chef in Bologna, I learned that Bolognese chefs avoid using semolina flour for their pasta.

ITALIAN PASTA

Thanks very much to Carmelita from Cook Italy who patiently walked us through making this homemade pasta dough.

INGREDIENTS

Flour  Eggs

Start by measuring the flour into a shallow bowl. Use a small small bowl or the base of a glass to press a well into the flour. Make sure that the flour completely covers the bottom of the bowl.

MAKING HOMEMADE FARFALLE

After a fair bit of flour has worked its way onto the surface of the egg, you’ll begin working the flour into the egg with your fingers.

NEXT STEP

The key, according to Carmelita, is to avoid letting the pasta dough dry out. Since you’ll be working with only a portion of the dough at a time, cover the remaining dough.
