The art of Italian cooking: egg pasta
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
Dry lasagna sheet
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.

Hi, Maria. I visited your site. It’s interesting. Where do you live? Carlo (my husband) and I live in Piedmont – Italy. Where were your parents from?
Obviously in Italy we find all the ingredients for traditional recipes easily but we aren’t able to know if it’s easy outside Italy.
We’re searching for people who help us in this and we’d like a new community can be born.
