Thanks for the great recipe. I live...Hi, Chef John!<br />Thanks for the great recipe. I live in the high desert and I actually had to make double the recipe. I noticed the first try dried out fast. I was still able to work with it perfectly. The second batch, I didn't add the 1/4 cup. It might just be the dry climate up here but it came out perfectly. <br />For anyone wondering, that dough works well for stuffed pasta. I'm currently using this dough for tortellini. <br /><br />P.S. thanks so much for the granita recipe.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632444277773525582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-44680728025892911052016-06-27T06:09:36.882-04:002016-06-27T06:09:36.882-04:00Hi chef John, should u religiously let the pasta g...Hi chef John, should u religiously let the pasta go hard before u cook it?

I had intended to make and eat them on the same day, but found out Sunday afternoon that my in-laws were coming on Monday, so decided to try making them a day in advance and cooking them the next. I'm really glad I did!<br /><br />I followed your Uncle's recipe and technique as closely as I could, and the pasta turned out fantastic! I don't have a pasta roller so I cut the dough into quarters and rolled each piece with a rolling pin, and was pleasantly surprised by how strong the dough was. I then loosely rolled the dough and cut by hand as shown in the video.<br /><br />I had liberally dusted the dough with flour while rolling and after cutting, and put the pasta in the fridge overnight, removing about an hour before use. <br /><br />My pasta cooked in about four minutes and I sauced it with a short rib ragu that I had also prepared yesterday. I hadn't had "homemades" in probably 20 years or more, and it was a real treat! I can't wait to make them again!<br /><br />Thanks again for the great recipe and tutorial!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-66445357138011615992013-08-26T19:42:37.286-04:002013-08-26T19:42:37.286-04:00Love your Food Wishes Site...Sorry to hear about U...Love your Food Wishes Site...Sorry to hear about Uncle Bill, wish I could have seen more of the Man.Allen Catonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13952167229203608484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-25858933283070135092012-01-19T13:24:04.065-05:002012-01-19T13:24:04.065-05:00Thank you Chef John and Uncle Bill I just made hom...Thank you Chef John and Uncle Bill I just made homemade fettucine pasta and it came out great.

I've been making homemade past...Hi Chef John, <br /><br />I've been making homemade pasta for some years now and I enjoy it a lot. When making filled pasta (as opposed to plain fettuccine or spaghetti) I notice the texture ends up being a bit too rustic. Perhaps it's a bit too thick, although I finish flattening the dough with a rolling pin (it gets even thiner than the level 1 on the machine). <br /><br />Question is, do you change the quantities of any ingredients when you make dough for filled pasta compared to plain pasta? Have you noticed how the dough reacts when using more or less water or oil? My impression is that your recipe calls for more water than I typically use and I should try that to see if the texture would become more smooth. <br /><br />Thanks for your insight.javiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-60840907739009053352010-05-27T22:56:36.246-04:002010-05-27T22:56:36.246-04:00Chef John,
