Homemade Pasta

Hi everyone!

In this post I’m going to show you how to make home made tagliatelle. It’s a very simple pasta, easy to make, but will get better with practice. The name comes from the verb “tagliare” (or “cut”), but in the US might be known as fettuccine.

That said, let me show you how to make it!

Tools & Ingredients:

• Fresh pasta dough (click here for recipe)
• Flour (for board)
• Wooden cutting board
• Rolling pin
• Knife

How to Make Homemade Tagliatelle Pasta:

1. Take the pasta dough and pressing with your fingertips, shape it like a rectangle.
2. Put the shaped dough on the board and start to make it thin rolling with the rolling pin.

3.  When you reach a pretty thin thickness and a nice round shape of the pasta dough, it’s time to fold it to in the shape of a cylinder.
4.  At this point, cut it with the knife in 1/2 inch strips across to create the noodles.

5.  Take it apart with your hands.

Note:

• You can shape the just cut tagliatelle in a nest (see the main picture) and freeze them.
• A good proportion of salt, water and pasta, to not over salt the pasta is: 1 liter of water, 10 grams of salt, 100 grams of pasta.
• To cook, boil water in a pan, add salt when is boiling. Put the tagliatelle in the boiling water and cook them for about 5 minutes.
  Check the cooking point, taking out a piece of pasta and taste it.
  Take them out as you like to be cooked.

Enjoy!
