Fresh Pasta

Saveur's recent issue - fresh pasta and bolognese - great issue - and love the bolognese - but a question - how do I freeze the freshly made pasta -- or can I? Lots of flour - partially drying - help?

Live and learn. Die and get food. That's the Southern way.

Saveur's recent issue - fresh pasta and bolognese - great issue - and love the bolognese - but a question - how do I freeze the freshly made pasta -- or can I?  Lots of flour - partially drying - help?

Dust the pasta with flour, toss make 'lil round nests of pasta (about 1 portion each).

Leave out a few hours on a dish towel or similar until just a little dry, freeze on a sheet pan then bag.

I usually just freeze pasta dough in dinner for two sized balls. When I want some fresh pasta for dinner I just put it on the counter to thaw when I leave for work.

Then roll, cut etc. just prior to the pot's coming to a boil.
