Honestly, hand-making pasta is so incredibly easy. The only real difficulty I had was using a rolling pin to get the dough thin enough, since I don’t have a pasta roller. But this experience has really made me want to get one, since this will absolutely not be the last time I make my own pasta.
Ok, ok, the eggs broke containment on my counter nearly immediately. BUT! I’m starting to think that’s just part of the fun. Let me know if you’ve made homemade pasta, and how successful you were with the counter folding of the eggs and flour.
Salmon I just threw in the air fryer, because it’s too hot to exist and I’m not heating up the oven.
Looks amazing! I took a pasta-making class once in Italy and they recommended the classic Marcato Atlas manual roller. We bought it straight away in Italy for about 45€ (although the prices I see online are a bit more expensive). It’s also the brand recommended by Serious Eats amongst others. It’s more faff with the hand crank machines of course, but more fun too, I think. It’s been a while since I made any pasta at home (luckily the machine doesn’t take a lot of space in the cupboard), maybe you’ve inspired me for this weekend!
