Homemade handkerchief Pasta (easiest pasta shape!)
Handkerchief pasta squares, known as fazzoletti, fold like silk to catch pools of sauce. A quick, easy and impressive pasta shape.
Ingredients
- 1 x batch of my easy homemade pasta dough
Instructions
- Make sure you look at all the photos above.
- Roll out the pasta sheets according to the step-by-step guide in my pasta dough recipe.
- I like to only work with about ⅙th of the dough at a time, it's so much easier to handle.
- The secret to really silky sheets is to roll through all the settings twice, fold the sheet back up and take it through all the settings again.
- For the long shape cut into 15cm x 30cm sheets and for squares cut 15cm x 15cm.
- Layer them up on a baking tray with parchment paper in between.
- Boil in a large pot of well salted boiling water for 2 - 3 minutes and serve with the sauce of your choice.
Notes
- If you want to make the sauce pictured, it's a lemon butter sauce and you can find the recipe in my butter sauce guide.
