Episode notes
Flour for Fresh Pasta
- Use double zero flour for fresh egg dough pasta.
- This finely milled flour creates a tender pasta when mixed with egg yolks.
Egg Yolks for Pasta
- Use only egg yolks, no whites, in fresh pasta dough.
- Yolks create a richer, less elastic dough, resulting in tender pasta.
Oil in Pasta Water
- Avoid adding oil to pasta cooking water.
- Oil coats the pasta, preventing sauce from absorbing properly.
