Homemade Pasta Dough
Homemade pasta is so easy to make at home with the help of your thermo mixer. Today we have used a pasta press to shape the dough just to highlight how flexible and forgiving this dough is. You can use a pasta machine to roll your dough or simply use a rolling pin and roll into thin sheets before cutting into strips with a sharp knife. This will go beautifully with the Puttanesca Meatballs if you don't want to use zoodles. You can also use it to create the Pumpkin & Goat's Cheese Agnolotti.
