[allidock11]

This was really helpful...but it also makes me even more grateful that I have a pasta rolling machine. :)

[conishuaa]

to make lasagna , Do I have to boil the pasta before baking ?

[yellowsaffron]

@conishuaa Yes, boil them just for a few seconds before using

[Gapcoproductions1]

[yellowsaffron]

@Gapcoproductions1 Nice job!

[Gapcoproductions1]

can i beat the egg in a bowl first then pour in the center of the flour??

[simonpopzz]

@searstower75 better in flower then bowl, more natural distance to it.

What should I do if I have no plastic wrap? I am in a remote area and I don't have any. This is why I need to know how people made pasta before plastic wrap was invented. Thank you.

[yellowsaffron]

@TonicMike A clean cloth would be fine as well

[TonicMike]

@yellowsaffron Thank you! Much appreciated.

@Smartass8504 Usually the ratio is 100 g (0,8 cup) of flour to 1 egg, but probably the flour you used absorbs more liquid... so, use big eggs and, if the dough is still too dry, add a little amount of water until it is kneadable

[sf5768]

what about ravioli?

[yellowsaffron]

@sf5768 You can use the same dough: cut out many circles, prepare the stuffing you like, put a small amount of stuffing in the centre of one circle, brush the edge with egg yolk and cover with another circle of pasta, pressing with a fork to make them adhere perfectly

[TaelelKwaelid]

just a little advice: use durum wheat meal, or the dough will be squishy after cooking.

when making tagliatelle, after flattening the pasta, let it dry for 5-6 minutes before rolling and cutting. simple, not filled pasta (like tagliatelli) is usually "al dente" when it re-emerge at boiling water surface. il takes only a couple of minutes, depending on dough thickness.

[mrossainz]

Does anyone know how long does it take to cook al dente, when putting in boiling water?

[oxRACH333Lxo]

@mrossainz 3-5 mins i used slightly salted boiling water and i added a smal glug of extr. virgin olive oil :)

[yellowsaffron]

@mrossainz If you're talking about fresh egg pasta, it depends on the type of flour and the shape, so I suggest always to taste it after 3-4 minutes. With regard to durum-wheat pasta, just follow what is written on the package, anyway it's always better to taste it!

[mrossainz]

@yellowsaffron & @oxRACH333Lxo

Thanks a lot, it really cooked fast compared to prepacked pasta. Also this one is soft and tender and absorbs all the flavors of the sauce. Very nice recipe thou very laborious nonetheless totally worth the effort!

[oxRACH333Lxo]

thats an awesome tip on how to make tagliatelle or linguini, i never thought to roll and cut and it saves me a fortune on a paste press! thanks for the awesome recipe, cant wait to impress my family tomorrow! :)

[moofeyy]

[youcreatea]

@moofeyy NO YOU CANNOT

[hotuckfai]

@youcreatea rofl...lol

[EvanC0912]

@youcreatea why can't we beat the eggs first?

[windigo77]

Thank you so much. I always wanted to know how to make my own pasta.

[xdeathisrighttherex]

yay the old translator!!

[duezeri1968]

I've tried making my own egg pasta (for orrechiete) but it turned out very rubbery. Does that suggest an incorrect egg:flour ratio? Any suggestions? Many thanks for a wonderful channel. :)

[CranberryY]

can you make it in advance or the pasta would go hard?

[yellowsaffron]

@CranberryY You can make it in the morning and let it rest on a tray covered with a slightly wet cloth, but you must cook it the same night, 'cause if you wait longer it would go hard.

[CranberryY]
