The other tip from my Aunt from Italy was to let the dough rest for a minimum of an hour after kneading it. Even longer if your schedule allowed. She would always make the dough when cleaning up after the mid-day meal, then make the noodles - mostly by hand - later in the afternoon while the sauce was cooking.

When making fresh pasta moisture is the enemy. Use as as little egg as possible or use as much flour as it will take up. Also resting the dough helps quite a bit.

Exactly. Also, feel free to use one egg yolk instead of an whole egg. Dough should be really really hard to knead, almost impossible. Then you wrap it in a cling film, leave it in a fridge for two hours and then you work with it on the pasta machine, which should be well flowered. I learned about this from Japanese style ramen noodles, they mix insanely low amount of water with the flour. Then they f-ing work it to the death in the machine. The first time I tried using pasta machine, I had no problems with my pasta. Also, I don't think they really use "00" flour for pasta, it is always "Semolina di granno durro" which is coarse flour of durrum wheat. So you maybe should try and found some.

@@urosmarjanovic663 fresh pasta isn't just semolina often it's a mix between the two or just 00. Pure semolina is used for dried pasta wich requires special industrial equipment. Ramen takes the the low moisture to an extreme because it's served in soup and needs to be a bit more resilient due to that. If you want to make filled pasta like ravioli or tortellini that doesn't work. You'll need a dough that's playable and just sticky enough to hold on to itself when pressed to make those.

BTW, reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water and put a bit at a time on your sauce before tossing it with the pasta. It will help emulsify the sauce and make it creamier, at the same time helping it to coat the pasta better. Put a bit at a time (like a tablespoon), until you get the consistency you like. NEVER put whatever amount it says in ANY recipe, don't trust that, too many variables involved.

You already mentioned in previous recipes that "back then" eggs were smaller. So using the two eggs you used were actually three eggs back when the recipe was written. So you have to adjust the amount of flour accordingly. I even know recipes that use one single egg per batch. Also, just hang your pasta after cutting, much, much better than clumping it all together. ;)

You need to flour the dough and the machine cylinder to prevent it from sticking. Also, flour the dough when cutting. Marcela assumes you know those things, so she omitted that. Also, you need to let the pasta dry for at least an hour, better 2, before cooking it, to prevent it from sticking to itself in the water. And let the pasta rest for at least 1/2 hour before passing it through the machine.

You probably get suggestions all of the time. But as far as classic dishes that I’d suggest, I’d like to see you tackle Mole Poblano. It is the most absurd, labor and time intensive recipe I have ever made. I believe it uses close to 30 ingredients. Multiple sub-assemblies coming together. Whole roasted and ground spices and seeds, dried chiles seeded, toasted and soaked, tomatoes, onions, and tomatillos roasted and blended. Before everything comes together in a big pot and is stewed together for hours to concentrate the flavors. It’s surprisingly worth the almost entire day it takes to make from scratch.

remember Jamie...in Italy the standard ratio for fresh pasta is 100gr to 1 egg...you cant go wrong with that proportions...i keep screaming "Jamieeee!!!Your pasta dough is too soft!!!" I love your videos! Keep up man...we love you!

my favorite line: "is this dough made for ants??" i was thinking the same thing. ROFL. second favorite line: "i dont think anything gets any better than that" [showing the empty bowl]. the ultimate compliment.

Man, that running gag with the ghostbowl that keeps on spinning, combined with the slow zoom-in never gets old. Also, congrats on that first try with the pastadough 😁

Every time the bowl spins no matter what video it is it kills me!!!!! I don’t know why it’s so hilarious, it’s probably you editing in the “he he he, Bon appétit!” Julia Child voice clip. It’s just the most hilarious thing to me, but maybe she is with you in spirit sometimes doing funny things with your bowls, utensils and other equipment. I think where ever Julia is she is watching you and likes what you are doing, I really don’t think that if she’s spinning the bowls she’s mad , I think it means she wants to have fun with you and say how amused she is by you cooking her food from her cook books!

Funny ... my Dad used to make the homemade tagliatelle by hand (and using a rolling pin) ... AND my Mom's maiden name was ROMEO (as in "Chromeo" the pasta machine"). I will take this episode as an homage to them !! BTW, he used a little more flour, and he also laid out his strands on our clean, floured kitchen table in order to "dry" .... perhaps an hour or so. It's been a long time and I don't remember the details (he passed in 1984). I loved this episode ! Grew up on Italian food, and it's still my go-to comfort food. Grazie, Jamie !

Can't wait to see what is next. I studied pasta making in Bologna and our first day we did this, along with gnocchi and fresh tortellini.

If you let the dough in the fridge covered with plastic wrap for 20/30 minutes before rolling,it would be much easier. Also before cutting it with the machine the strips of dough should be let to dry so that they don’t stick… works every time like a charm. Also don’t be shy with the flouring 😉 love your content btw ❤

I bought this book and a pasta maker about 2 months ago and decided to do this EXACT dish three days ago because I have been watching your videos so often. Had a similar experience... Was a blast. Damn fine ragu too. Love your work mate.

Okay, I didn't hear you mention it, but every recipe I have used to make egg pasta (and heard mentioned from the Iron Chef kitchens on a few occasions), you have to let the dough ball rest for 20 minutes before proceeding. This really does seem to make a better pasta with more integrity as the flour moistens evenly during this time and the gluten creates a meshwork that makes handling the pasta much simpler. Of course the insane number of passes is still part of the process but it rolls out much easier. Also having a little flour for sprinkling, to keep everything moving on is a must. I generally let the machine cut my pasta unless I am making my German Grandmother's recipe for egg noodles which I roll and cut by hand. They are a thicker noodle though, so cutting it is easier. That is how she taught me, so I still make it that way. Good job, everything looked delicious and perfect in the end.

Love it! This has me thinking about our pasta machine tucked away in a cupboard in the basement, and needing a trip to the Italian grocery store just up the road. Maybe after the weather turns cool again... Great job, Jamie! Can't wait to try it.

Onions+butter searing=heaven on earth😍 Ps: i loved this episode jamie, it became one of my favourites in your channel! Your determination gives me the courage to cook even more complicated recipes!

I remember early covid, when it had just broken out in itlay but hadn't yet made it to where I live, there was a nonna that was interviewed and asked her thoughts about the lockdown. She said she would make Ragú alla Bologneise for the time of the lockdown. So if the lockdown lasted a week, she would have one-week bologneise, if it took six months, she would have six month bologneise. I aspire to be this careless.

You have the patience of a Saint. I would have probably needed sectioning after the 5th try with that pasta.

Hi Jamie, Italian here! Good job on that pasta al ragù! Just a few heads up for next time: - that dough was definitely too moist! That’s why you had such a hard time passing it through the pasta machine. It should be waaay stiffer and drier. In Italy we all use the same measurement which is 1 egg for 100g of all purpose (ideally 00) flour. And then you can scale it up multiplying by any amount! 3 eggs, 300g of flour and so on… . That way you should have a less elastic and more compact dough; - flour is your friend in this case, not your enemy! You must use a lot of it when rolling the dough through the pasta machine and even when you formed the tagliatelle (btw, it’s pronounced t-uh-yee-uh-tay-llay 😊): we usually toss the formed tagliatelle with a bit of flour to coat them and prevent sticking while they are waiting to be cooked

Good effort! Stick with the pasta making. It gets easier with practice and there is nothing quite like fresh homemade pasta! I learnt the rolling pin technique at a cooking course in Tuscany, but a pasta machine is definitely easier. At my cooking course we made ravioli, which is an extra level of complexity. In my experience at home, 00 flour is key to success. On your first attempt you definitely didn’t have enough flour. I also recommend letting the dough rest for 20-30 minutes. When using the pasta machine, I was taught to run the pasta through twice on each setting before dialing down to the next one. Buon appetito!

We make this recipe often. I've stopped making the tagliatelle though, too lazy. I use a combination of beef, pork and pancetta. And that brand of tomatoes is all I use. My husband really didn't love Bolognese until we made this and he *loves* it. Perfect Sunday Supper.

Good job for a first timer ❤! As an italian living in Bologna i'd like to say there are some things that could be adjusted based on what I've seen doing by my mum and grandma growing up (I know I know everybody has it's own version...): - the ragu: there should be some pork meat. Some make it half and half, some use italian pork sausage, some add pancetta. No milk needed. Red wine. Vegetables need to be cut way smaller than you did, they should almost disappear, the goal is to have a soft sauce without big chunks, this is the reason for the long cooking; you can also use a good olive oil instead of butter to have a "lighter" ragu; - the pasta: tagliatelle don't need to be 1 meter long. Around 40 cm is ok. That's why she wrote to cut the dough into six pieces. You should be able to spin the fork 4/5 times to have a nice roll of tagliatelle. You could try to make the pasta with the rolling pin, it's a skill worth having. You'll have a little more rustic pasta and the ragu will stick better to it; that's why the classic dry pasta isn't a great match for ragu, it's too smooth; - please please please try to learn how to say properly italian words, as you've always done with the french ones. I understand it might be difficult but hearing you say tagliatelle was funny but broke my brain a little 😅😅😅.

I love how you started this with "last time i made my own pasta i made a mess of it" and then proceded to say I dont think i should cut this into six pieces it seems too small 😂

I learn something from you every time As an old cook it is fun to watch you perfect your style.

Portioning the dough into her recommended sectiong,six, sets the length of the pasta. A trick I learned for twirling the pasta for plating is to put the pasta in wide glass and twirl in the glass. Then invert out the plate/bowl. I love, love, LOVE your podcasts.

I invested in the kitchen aid attachment as i'm usually solo making pasta, but my daughter turns out great pasta with an inexpensive crank machine and an extra pair of kid hands. She does use a drying rack, but I find a well floured cookie sheet works fine if you are cooking it right away in small batches.

Wow such timing. I made this this bolongnese with fresh pasta for the first time mid last week. It ended up really good. I didn't use Marcella's recipe for the fresh pasta but the recipe that came with the kitchen aid pasta roller/cutter I borrowed from someone. I found that making sure the pasta was well flowered was essential for making sure it didn't stick to itself and other things. I would consider the pasta roller from kitchen aid a requirement for myself if I were to make pasta all the time. It frees up both hands to guide the pasta through the rollers and no clamping to the countertop is required.

Marcella Hazan is the bomb. I use that cookbook all the time. Her Pink Shrimp Sauce with Cream is one of my favorite pasta sauces, but there are so many.

with fresh pasta it just takes practice.... dust with flour when it gets too sticky... but not too much... took me maybe 2-3 attempts to get the hang of things. works best if you let the dough rest for an hour or so. note: you can freeze the doughballs and let it defrost in the fridge overnight for fresh pasta on demand. easy way to always have fresh pasta on demand :D

17:43 thanks so much- I’m outside alone in the dark watching this- and now I’m actually spooked!😅😂🤷‍♀️

You owned a pasta machine at the start of this video but you OWNED "Chromeo" in the end, Jamie! The meal looked top notch.

I give you credit for making the pasta by hand. I learned how to do it in the food processor, and that seems to work best. It also helps to rest the dough at least 15 minutes before to try to roll it out.

This is a FANTASTIC sauce. I always do a double recipe.

Flour is definitely your friend with fresh pasta. Also, in my struggles to improve my fresh pasta, I learned letting the dough rest in the fridge before rolling it out makes the whole job SO much easier. Toss the ball of dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour and it will be so much easier to roll out.

I just love your videos! I cracked up, no - died laughing during the whole horror movie Julia Child "bon appetite" sequence. Hilarious! You have such a great sense of humor! Loved this vid! You're awesome!

I just made this, never seeing your video. It was literally the best singular dish I've ever made, and one of the best I've ever tasted.

I've never made pasta, but as an avid home cook and watcher of cooking shows, I could tell the first batch needed more flour from the get go. Kudos for not giving up. I've been there too.
