Pasta FAQs<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What kind of flour should I use?
<\/strong>Durum wheat flour is the best choice for pasta – it makes a firm, elastic dough that’s easy to work with. If you don’t have durum wheat flour at home, all-purpose flour can be used as an alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I make gluten-free pasta?
<\/strong>Yes, you can! With the right recipe and ingredients, you can make gluten-free pasta that’s just as delicious as the classic version. You can find our recipe for gluten-free pasta dough here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I get the perfect al dente texture?
<\/strong>The key to ‘al dente’ is to cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water. Use a timer and start tasting the pasta 1-2 minutes before the recommended cooking time. Fresh pasta usually only needs 2-4 minutes to cook. Pro tip! Save some of the starchy pasta water – it’s perfect for adjusting the consistency of your sauce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tips and tricks for making homemade past<\/strong>a<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Want to take your pasta skills to the next level? Here are our top tips for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use enough flour:<\/strong> Keep your pasta from sticking during rolling and cooking by sprinkling it generously with flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the dough rest:<\/strong> Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes – this will make it smoother and easier to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drying is key:<\/strong> Hang your finished pasta on a drying rack or a broomstick placed between two chairs to achieve the perfect texture and prevent it from sticking together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Control thickness<\/strong>: Roll the dough through the pasta roller several times to adjust the thickness for the type of pasta you’re making.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
