Do You Make Pasta?


Recommended Posts

I've been playing around with it recently but I'm not happy with the way it's coming out--after reading your instructions I think it must be my flour composition.

 

Not that the teenage bottomless pits who snarf up my mistakes have noticed any problem. :-)

Semolina will give you more "tooth" and a prettier yellow color. Try 50/50, it will make rolling easier and then you can play with moving the ratio up if you prefer.

 

To my mind !00% flour noodles are not "pasta". Not "bad", just not pasta.

 

I hope the instructions bring you a small sliver of the enjoyment your work has afforded me.

Bill, thanks for your inspiration. I went down to the basement and found my trusty, dusty Atlas...and the girls and I will be making some tonight. I think I will use 75 semolina and 25 spelt. :drool:

 

Spelt huh? I never used Spelt flour. Is it soft like regular wheat flour? Or are you doing to have stiff dough to work out?
