This weekends WSJ had an article about pasta and what chefs are doing with it. It was pretty interesting. Here's the link

One of the most interesting to me was the Tortelli from restaurant Wildweed. They make sheets of pasta the have tiny lines of yellow and red in it. I've seen pasta created like that but it was always wide strips cut and placed side-by-side to create a sheet. Wildweed's looks like it's about 1/8 inch wide. If they are doing it the same way, they are artists with the patience of Job. I'd never be able put it together.

Here's a photo of the pasta and another showing more typical sheets.
