The art of Italian cooking: egg pasta


By The Italian Taste (Visit website)



Hi. This is the twenty fifth post about the art of cooking Italian pasta.


It’s time to speak about egg pasta for two reasons. We have showed you a lot of pasta recipes and pasta sauces in the last weeks but all the recipes are made with dry pasta. In Italy we  use also fresh pasta very often, we like it very much.

Besides we have just published a new version of  vegetarian lasagna that tastes fantastic! We’d like to join it with you.

But it’s necessary to tell you something about egg pasta before.

You can buy dry egg pasta or fresh egg pasta but you could also make it at home. What about this last idea? Don’t worry! Making homemade pasta dough isn’t easy  but  you can learn it. You have only to try!

You can read step-by-step instructions to make egg pasta in this page.

Making egg pasta



If you have no time to prepare egg pasta at home but you’d like to prepare a tasty lasagna you can buy fresh lasagna sheet or dry lasagna sheet as those you can see in the photo below

When you buy dry lasagna sheets you have to read the instructions on the package very well. Some of them are no-boil lasagna. In other words you can prepare your lasagna directly in the baking pan without boiling them before.

But there are some dry lasagna sheets that must be boiled before preparing lasagna. In this case remember to add at least a tablespoon of olive oil in the boiling water. This avoids that pasta rectangles stick. Remove lasagna from boiling water with 2 skimming ladles, cool them in cold water and arrange on a napkin in order to let them dry.

Well, we’ll see you tomorrow for our new lasagna recipe made with spring vegetables!
