He used the Batali cookbook to mix the pasta and to made the ragu. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1495067 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:23:30 +0000 regberadaisy 1495067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: we usually use the Mario Batali recipe. But we always end up adding a bit of water till it feels right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1495066 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:23:30 +0000 yoursilverlining 1495066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@creativemomma15: I like this recipe/tips. <a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/how-to-make-gnocchi-like-an-italian-grandmother-recipe.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/how-to-make-gnocchi-like-an-italian-grandmother-recipe.html</a><br /> You've just got to make sure that the dough is "soft" - it's hard to describe but just keep the texture of good gnocchi in mind when you're making the dough. If its super thick feeling when you knead it (or you need it too much), like bread dough it will become heavy and thick and not what you're looking for. You want the dough to feel sort of sort and lightish. If that makes any sense :silly: you'll know if after you make it a time or two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1495060 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:20:40 +0000 sandy 1495060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: can you share your pasta recipe :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1495058 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:19:40 +0000 sandy 1495058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never made pasta myself but have helped a friend roll it out and it's so good! Handmade pasta is probably my favorite thing to order when we go out...it's just so much better than packaged. But I have had handmade pasta that isn't good so I'm sure it matters what recipe and technique is being used </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1495054 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:17:38 +0000 regberadaisy 1495054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, yes!!! We have the kitchenaid pasta attachment and it is Soooo easy and simple. So worth the little effort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1494911 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 16:55:12 +0000 Mommy Finger 1494911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have made some amazing ravioli in my day. A lot of work but definitely worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1494463 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 13:26:26 +0000 mrs. wagon 1494463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg we've made fresh pasta with friends and it's SO GOOD. It is sure a lot of work though!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1494397 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 12:57:55 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1494397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few times, but don't do it often. And I tend to make A LOT from scratch... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1494380 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 12:49:00 +0000 Beyond2 1494380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make egg noodles for chicken noodle soup which isn't too bad but for regular pasta I don't think it's worth it. This coming from someone that tends to prefer everything homemade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1494377 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 12:47:23 +0000 MrsH 1494377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine never turns out but I have only tried to make GF pasta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1493464 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 06:58:39 +0000 creativemomma15 1493464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: @Mrs. Twine: how do you make gnocchi??? I've been wanting to try but don't know where to start or if it's hard... Any tips? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1493455 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 06:48:25 +0000 looch 1493455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you do it with a manual pasta rolling machine, it can be a lot of work. If you have an attachment for your KitchenAid, it's not that bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1493147 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:19:34 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1493147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and "eh." We can get some fairly decent, inexpensive dried pasta. It's a lot of work, and other than ravioli/tortellini or gnocchi I don't really find it to be worth it. It's fun to do on occasion, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1493056 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:36:56 +0000 yoursilverlining 1493056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and yes. I make gnocchi too; once you get the hang of it it's not bad, and the taste and texture is much better than dried pasta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1493025 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:28:59 +0000 swedishfish 1493025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister does sometimes and it's a lot of work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-their-own-pasta#post-1492965 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:10:23 +0000 chopsuey 1492965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it worth it? </p>
