Tell me Mama, is it worth making your own pasta? I know lotsa folks make their own pasta, but does it really taste better than a good quality store bought dried pasta?
OMg they are so much better than store bought noodles, and the other things you can do is so much better as well. Make your own ravioli! Make your own Tortollini!
My recipe for basic pasta dough is real, real simple
100 grams flour per person you are serving
1 egg person you are serving.
That's it!
add a dash of olive oil and a pinch of salt and you are good to go.
You can also buy
Spinach Powder and
Tomato Powder to add to your pasta dough to make tri colored pasta as well.
