Fresh Pasta Dough, Homemade Pasta Dough
by Tarla Dalal
This is a basic recipe to make lasagne and cannelloni sheets, tortellini , ravioli , fettuccine or tagliatelle. You can make a plain pasta dough or flavour it with herbs or vegetable purée to get a herb pasta or spinach pasta.
The prepared pasta dough must be kneaded very well to make the rolling of pasta simpler. The firmer the dough is, the better the pasta will be. The pasta dough can be used and cooked as soon as it is made or wrapped in plastic film and refrigerated for upto 2 days.
