pasta

I'm thinking of hosting a small New Years Eve get together for 8-12 people. I was thinking of trying my hand at a pasta bar. What do you suggest that I provide with the pasta bar? I also don't want to spend a silly amount of money on this. Please keep that in mind lol.

This was several years in the making. I’ve always had this idea of making the colors of the Italian flag, although that idea has always been to do it with pasta. But, in my continuing quest for healthier options, I decided to make a gnocchi with rutabaga. I decided to add a potato at the last...

I'm contemplating getting one of these babies. I'm getting all excited with the pasta challenge thread lol. Budget: $50.00 bucks (is that even possible to get a decent one)? I'm going to link a few off of Amazon. I don't know anything at all about these fwiw. Please post any comments or...

Advice needed urgently! I don't make fresh pasta often enough to be much good at it. I've made some dough today using the Jamie Oliver recipe - 200g 00 flour plus 2 eggs. The dough was extremely hard and difficult to knead. I added a little water which did make kneading a little easier, but...

Springtime pasta! Absolutely lovely dish. A good bit of prep, but doesn't take long for the actual cooking and it's delicious! 1 large or 2 small carrots, peeled, thinly sliced 1/2 pound asparagus, tough stem ends removed, cut into 1-inch pieces, tips kept separate 1/2 pound mushrooms, 1/4...

Gnocchi Making these pillows of potatoey goodness isn't as hard as the many steps below make it look. My family never pan fried the potatoes after boiling, but I like that relatively new development in the recipe, so I've added it in. And, as a personal note, my dad always pronounced...

I really need to work on my consistency. They don't look pretty, but they tasted good. Note that the orange color was due to the tomato paste in the dough. Ingredients 1 1⁄4 cups "00" flour 1⁄2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 2 eggs 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 teaspoon kosher salt 4 ounces...

I was asking about flour here and pasta roller came up, I have borrowed a counter top one but since I have a stand mixer it is worth the substantial cost difference to get one for the stand mixer? I think if I knew how much I would use it I would grab the one for the stand mixer but that aside...

Apparently, there are approximately 350 different types of pasta shapes — and they all have names. Different shaped pasta is used to suit different sauces - but do you really think about that? Do you usually buy one particular type or do you use different pasta shapes depending on the dish? In...

Lasagna pasta and ramen two completely different pasta's I know but I thought I would save some space on here to just ask about both on this post. When it comes to making pasta I know the main ingredients for both is water,salt, and flour. I heard in order to make the best ramen it requires you...
