Fetuccini
One of my fondest memories of my childhood is helping my grandma make pasta on Sundays, a tradition that was interrupted in my teen years. Now as a nostalgic grown up, I tried to explore the option of making home made pasta, as a tribute to her and her Italian heritage. This recipe is the result.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Spread the flour on the counter, giving it a crown/volcano shape
- 2
Add the eggs in the middle of said crown. Make sure they don’t spill, as it will make the dough hard to mix.
- 3
Add the salt to the flour, making sure to sprinkle it evenly across the crown
- 4
Using a spoon, start breaking the eggs and whisking them, while slowly incorporating the surrounding flour.
- 5
Once the mix is no longer runny, start incorporating all the ingredients with your hands. Pretty much squeeze it all together several times until all the fragmented ingredients start looking as a unified dough.
- 6
(Corrections/may not be required) If during the previous step the dough is either too runny after absorbing all the flour or the dough is too dry/sandy and not coming together, then we need to fix it. If it is too runny, incorporate more flour little by little, until it no longer feels sticky. On the contrary, if the dough was too dry, then use very little water to hydrate it. I usually get my hands wet and try and mix the dough again, usually that moist helps to bind the ingredients
- 7
Once your dough is starting to take shape, knead the dough for 5 minutes. The idea is to allow gluten to form, so try and “break” the dough a bit while kneading.
- 8
After kneading, wrap your dough on either cling wrap or a kitchen cloth and let it rest for 45 minutes. This step is very important, because by allowing the dough to rest, we allow the gluten to form properly, which leads to an easier and better stretching of the dough afterward
- 9
Unwrap your dough on your counter and cut it into manageable chunks. Consider that the smaller the chunk, the easier it will be to stretch, but it also yields for shorter pasta. I usually go for somewhere in between 2 to 4 chunks.
- 10
To stretch the dough, grab each smaller piece of dough and shape it into a rectangle
- 11
Using the rolling pin, stretch the dough until you get a long flat oval/rectangle. Spread enough flour on top of it to prevent it from sticking, and now fold the tips inwards, so they meet in the middle. Flatten the dough again, taking care not to press too much. Repeat this process one more time, and then gently unfold the dough to get a thin sheet of pasta
- 12
Now in order to cut our pasta, first we need to Cut the edges of the sheets so we turn them into rectangles. This will guarantee fetuccini of consistent length.
- 13
Fold the pasta sheets (or roll it) taking care for it not to stick, and cut noodles 1.5 cm thick. Spread them over a chopping board or oven tray so they take their final shape
- 14
If you’re cooking them right away, remember that fresh pasta needs to be cooked only for a few minutes (3-4), and need to be cooked in a big pot of boiling water.

Homemade Pasta Fettuccine Homemade Pasta Fettuccine
I just wanted to try making fresh pasta.The kneaded dough is tough but it will get softer after you let it rest. If the dough is soft, it will get too soft to roll out after resting. This means you will have tougher pasta as you will need to dust it with more flour to roll it out evenly. Recipe by cherry

Well my dad first taught me how to make spaghetti with meatballs and a spicy spaghetti sauce, both bolognese and seafood style. I just kept experimenting with it; adding wine, spicy peppers, using sea salt, and a bit of garlic, and that's how I came up with my version of it.
