"To usher in another weekend at home, I offer you not a puzzle, nor a binge-worthy Netflix show, but this humble how-to video series of beginner-friendly hand-rolled pasta! š„³ Even if you canāt get your hands on semolina or semola flour, Iāve heard through the grape vine that all-purpose works well too, making this essentially a play-dough art project that you very much have permission to eat. I like to cook these all together (yes, I know they cook at slightly different rates but I donāt mind!) and serve them with a hearty, probably spicy, pantry sauce. Shapes are, in order: cavatelli, gnocchetti sardi (no gnocchi board? Use a fork, a cheese grater, whatever you have!), capunti, pezzettelli, chiancaredde, and orecchietteāmy forever favorite. š"

A Note from Feedfeed
Pasta is a tried and true comfort food, and many of us are turning to pasta as easy weeknight dinners. This pasta dough recipe is only two ingredients but you can make of variety of hand shaped pastas with it. Toss your cooked pasta in butter, parmasan and black pepper for a quick cacio e pepe, or use up any fresh herbs on hand to make pesto!
