Make Fresh Pasta

“The thing I like about making fresh pasta is that it’s a fairly monotonous task. I’m not making it because I need to quickly get dinner on the table (though it is good for that when you have some stashed in the freezer). When I make fresh pasta, I do it because I enjoy the process. I set aside time to mix, knead, roll, and cut. It’s a highly enjoyable kitchen task, one I would honestly do every day if I had the time. Make an evening or afternoon out of it, and just enjoy yourself and the whole process.”

“It’s no secret I make fresh pasta all the time. I can usually make it in about 10-15 minutes of prep time, assuming I’m not taking photos along the way. But documenting it took a wee bit longer. Also, I’m not gonna lie – this is a TON easier if you have a KitchenAid stand mixer attachment or other automated pasta press. If you have a little hand crank one, you can certainly make pasta – it just takes longer.”
