Fresh Egg Pasta

Fresh egg pasta is made from eggs and doppio zero (00) flour, a soft wheat flour, sometimes with a little semolina flour added. This mixture gives a soft pliable pasta that can be easily shaped by hand. It is used to make lasagne sheets, folded into shapes such as tortellini or cut into ribbons. You can buy fresh pasta from the refrigerated section of most supermarkets or you can make your own at home.
