How to make 3 different pasta shapes

Step 1/3

• pasta dough

• pasta machine
• knife

To make tagliatelle, roll out fresh pasta dough with a pasta machine until it's very thin. Dust the sheet with some semolina and fold it over itself four times. Use a knife to cut approx. 1/4-in. (1/2 cm) wide strips, then dust the tagliatelle with a little semolina again and loosen with your hands so they don't stick together.

Step 2/3

• pasta dough

• pizza wheel

To make farfalle, roll out the dough at the thinnest level of the pasta machine and cut it into 2-in. (5 cm) wide strips with a knife. Then cut squares with a pizza wheel (or a pasta cutter if you have one). Fold them twice in the middle with your fingers to create the classic bowtie shape.

Step 3/3

• pasta dough

• pastry cutter

To make cavatelli, roll the pasta dough into thin strands and then cut them into small 1/4-in. (1/2 cm) thick pieces with a pastry cutter or knife. Press each piece in with a fingertip, in order to shape small, round plates.
