Fresh homemade pasta also tastes incredible compared to store-bought pasta brands. Once you start making pasta from scratch and creating artisan pasta shapes, like these wide ribbon noodles, a whole world of flavors and recipes opens up. Fresh handmade pasta ribbons are fast to cook and serve. If you make the dough ahead of time you can have a meal on the table in 20 minutes with a simple pasta sauce topping of ricotta, basil pesto, and tomatoes. You can also use fresh pasta sheets from the store for an even faster meal prep solution. Pasta Recipe Booklet Each pasta roller comes in a plastic-free gift box with our favorite pasta-making recipes included. Our pasta recipe booklet includes a recipe for a great egg-based pasta dough that works very well for pappardelle ribbons. We've also put in a recipe for a green spinach pasta dough which we like to serve with parmesan pine nuts and broccoli. We've included some tips on how to roll and cook the pasta and some delicious DIY pasta sauces to make, like creamy mushroom, and duck and red wine ragu. Authentic Italian pasta sauces for wide pappardelle noodles are rich and filling. Make these recipes and you will have clean bowls and happy diners. About Us Country Trading Co. is a small family business, and we know one end of a kitchen from the other. We make everything from scratch and back in 2012, we started developing a wooden gnocchi board that worked well. One that had nice sharp deep grooves to roll the gnocchi off. Once you start making homemade pasta you don’t stop at gnocchi. Pretty soon we were making other handmade pasta tools, including our ravioli making kit and this authentic Italian wooden pasta rolling pin. We make pasta from scratch starting with the dough so we also have a stainless steel hand cranked pasta roller which includes a longer pasta recipe book with all our favorite pasta dough recipes in it. We hope you enjoy making lovely wide ribbons of pappardelle with this pasta roller and that it inspires you to make more homemade pasta shapes. We’d love to hear your results.
