How to Make Fresh Pasta

Inspired by conversations on the Food52 Hotline, we're sharing tips and tricks that make navigating all of our kitchens easier and more fun.

Today: We kick off our collaboration with Mario Batali's How To Tuesdays with a video on making fresh pasta.

We love the How To Tuesday videos produced by the Mario Batali restaurant group; they're all about bringing tricks and techniques into our own home kitchens, making them approachable, making them accessible. So -- naturally -- we invited them to come hang out in our kitchen with us: to share their expertise, their knowledge, their experience.

Our first video with them is, of course, how to make fresh pasta; we can't think of people more fit to teach us. Watch Chef Josh Laurano of Tarry Market single-handedly quiet those fears, those hesitations, those doubts about making pasta dough at home -- and stay tuned for how to roll it out and make ravioli, tortellini, and other filled pastas.

Got anything you want to learn from the Batali chefs? Let us know in the comments!

This video was made in collaboration with Mario Batali.
