Fresh Sheet Pasta

We know that making your own pasta sounds stressful when you have never made it. Play with this method for making great hand-shaped pasta, however, and you will soon know what we do: making pasta is a form of meditation. You can use your mixer to save your forearms if you want, but overall this is a bulletproof way to make some hand-shaped pasta. This pasta recipe is a “no-machine-kneaded” recipe. We are aiming for that perfect in-between from the southern Italian—all semolina flour and water used for small-shaped pasta, and the northern Italian—heavy yolk and blended flour dough that is perfect for tender sheets and filled pasta. We intend this to be an all-around-workable-workhorse kind of dough.This dough is drier than the kind of pasta dough you make to roll out thin sheets of pasta. This one is optimized for shaping by hand.For a solid sheet pasta formula check out this recipe:
