Homemade pasta has always been more than just food to me, it’s culture, tradition, and comfort. I come from an Italian family where pasta wasn’t a special occasion… it was just how we cooked. Flour on the counter, hands in the dough, and time taken to do it right. Making pasta from scratch feels grounding, and it’s one of those skills that connects generations in the kitchen.
Semolina tip:
When rolling or cutting fresh pasta, dust with semolina flour instead of all-purpose. Semolina is slightly coarse, so it prevents sticking without getting absorbed into the dough. It keeps your pasta light, clean, and perfectly textured, especially for long shapes or filled pasta.
Question for you:
Have you ever made homemade pasta before, or is it something you’ve always wanted to try but felt intimidated by? 🍝
