Notes
Notes
- Use 00 flour for a silkier texture or all-purpose flour for a firmer bite.
- Let the dough rest to improve elasticity and make rolling easier.
- Cook in plenty of salted water to prevent sticking.
- Fresh pasta cooks quickly, so watch closely to avoid overcooking.
- Toss with olive oil if not serving immediately to prevent clumping.
- Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency.
