What is Fresh Pasta?
"Fresh is Better"
- Fresh pasta is made from a simple dough of eggs and flour, usually semolina, all-purpose flour, or "00" flour.
- The dough is kneaded like bread dough and then pressed through rollers until it's as thin as desired. Then it's cut into long noodles or formed and stuffed
- E.g. Fettuccine, Tagliatelle, Pappardelle, and Lasagna, Ravioli, Tortellini, and Cannelloni, etc.

Cooking Fresh Pasta Tips
- Fresh pasta must be cooked through, but just barely. At first, the only way to know when the pasta is done is to taste it, so stand by the pot, tongs in hand, and taste repeatedly.
- Fresh pasta cooks quickly, often in 3 or 4 minutes in salted boiling water
- Cooked pasta should always be tossed with warm sauce.
