THE ART OF HOMEMADE PASTA
Once you have made your own pasta at home, you will realise that homemade pasta is on a whole other level when it comes to quality and flavour. Not to mention you avoid the plastic and food miles associated with pasta in a packet.
Making pasta at home might seem like a lot of work but it is actually much easier than it appears. It’s also heaps of fun and a really great way to spend time with friends. You don’t have to make it every time you need it either, it is possible to make large quantities of pasta in a day’s session and store it in a jar for use over several months.
INGREDIENTS
The basic recipe for pasta involves two ingredients: water and flour. Although you can make pasta with different types of flour, the best to use is durum semolina, triticum durum, because it produces a dough with adequate elasticity.
Durum is ideal for making pasta shapes
