Homemade pasta
Appears in
Published 2015
Pasta is made at home in most regions of Italy: in the South with durum wheat semolina and water and in the North with soft wheat flour and eggs. This is because durum wheat grows in the South, while soft wheat is the cereal of the North. Durum wheat pasta is homemade only in southern Italy. It is very difficult to make, because the dough is very unyielding and hard to stretch. I have tried many times to make orecchiette (the most common shape) but never really succeeded. So I buy dried orecchiette – far easier.
