My 99 year old grandma and I were cheering for you while yelling "more flour in the dough" the whole time. We both love your show!

[@bdavis7801]

🤣

[@smz5302]

I was yelling, "Don't let the pasta pile up under the machine!" ;-) And the dough doesn't have to be that long. "Cut it!" (And, yep, Dough #1 was WAY too sticky, for sure. I saw that thumb go in and I'm like, "Nooooo." ;-) Nothing like trial and error. It burns into your memory. (I've been there, Jamie!)

[@grumpybear123]

I was too. My grandma taught me how to make them as a kid. 😂

[@1957DLT]

@@smz5302 I think that a LOT of us said "Nooooo" then too.

[@elengstrom]

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.

[@jacktheripperVII]

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.

[@antichef]

I’ll remember for next time!

[@TheMovieCreator]

@@antichef I've also seen in videos of people making Tagliatelle with the traditional method, they tend to dry the sheet a little until it gets a hint of a crust to keep it from sticking before rolling it up and cutting.

[@urosmarjanovic663]

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.

[@jacktheripperVII]

@@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.

[@urosmarjanovic663]

@@jacktheripperVII Ok, fair enough. ;) Will have that in mind.

[@MarkWladika]

Yep, when she says keep adding flour until it's not sticky, she means it!

[@LadyBeyondTheWall]

That part was actually pretty funny, lol. "Enough flour so it doesn't stick.. It's not sticking!" he says as I'm literally watching the dough stick to his thumb. 🤦🏻‍♀😂

[@mateuszz9032]

While making fresh pasta you must adjust flour because as the time goes by, the flour in the dough moisturizes due to gluten developement.

[@bdavis7801]

Good to know!

[@draskuul]

Keep in mind there is nothing wrong with cutting the pasta sheets in half when they start getting really long. A 4-foot long noodle is pretty pointlessly hard to eat anyway!

[@pegm5937]

Such a good point! I was telling my scren, "see? That's why the recipe said 6 balls!" 😂

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

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.

[@antichef]

Great tip! I will next time! 🙌🏼

[@kissxo92]

I'm Italian and it's strange to see such a small amount of Ragù, we usually make a huge batch and then freeze it in small portions ready to be used

[@tildessmoo]

Giant pot! It's a dish most Americans think of as a sauce, but really it's a stew, and the tagliatelle is the starch like potatoes in an English stew. If you think of it like that, the amount in that pot is _tiny_ . Then again, I don't think I've ever managed to make only one serving of stew at a time.

[@etienne8110]

Or jars. Batch cooking is slowly getting forgotten

[@transamgal9]

The Silver Fox has a pasta maker you can get that does not need to be clamped down. It is held sturdy by the machine♡

[@Brandyalla]

It also lets you hold the pasta instead of having to use up a hand operating the crank handle

[@DarkQueenHelba]

Yeah but they are so expensive... I’ve never heard anything bad about the attachments but the prices are so high that it really makes it a hard starting out purchase.

[@dinasawlani]

Yes I love the pasta attachment. It was a pricey purchase, especially in my country, but worth the investment. It doesn't stress the dough.

[@JennL919]

If you have a Homegoods/TJ Maxx, I purchased one there for super cheap a couple years ago, felt like I stole it 😅

[@michaelkaster5058]

last i looked(been a while) you can buy his pasta machine and it's motor, for the cost of the kitchenaid attachement and get more cutting blades.

[@bubuz1976]

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!

[@TheMovingEye]

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. ;)

[@antichef]

Ah I didn’t think of that! Noted!!

[@KarisaMusolf]

Great point! I use more modern recipes for egg pasta at home, and they're generally going with one large egg per 100g of flour, and it's perfect every time. That seems to be a higher proportion of flour than Marcella's recipe.

[@Sniperboy5551]

Always use an excess of flour, it’ll make your life a lot easier

[@marketads1]

When I was in my pasta phase I remember putting brooms across chair backs and hanging the pasta strands to dry from them. My little helper daughter loved that part the best. Like a pasta forest she could walk through and feel the strands on her face. Such lovely memories coming back thanks to you!

[@1957DLT]

00 flour changes everything when it comes to homemade pasta. Good on you for persevering during the pasta making process. I use our 'red fox' to get the dough together using the dough hook, rest it for 20 minutes, then portion into 4 pieces before putting it through the pasta machine. I also learned to never go beyond notch 6 for thickness. It's all trial and error really, but always edible.

[@antichef]

Some great tips! 👏🏻

[@smz5302]

Yep - notch 6 MAX. I like the pasta to have some thickness/bite to it, too.

[@pegm5937]

Do you use the Red Fox's pasta making attachment? 😊

[@1957DLT]

@@pegm5937 No, just the dough hook for mixing it together. We tried the extruder several times and were just not happy with the results no matter how we adjusted the dough. I have my Baba's pasta machine for the rolling out and that makes me happy.

[@jacobmudd8024]

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.

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

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.

[@antichef]

This is helpful. I’m making notes for next time!

[@julienicol9202]

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 !

[@sherryheim5504]

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.

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.

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!

[@JACKeREB3]

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

Thank you for all these tips! I’ve taken note for the next time! That’s easy to remember 100g for 1 egg!

Dude after 9 minutes was like "I've only made pasta one time five years ago and I feel it went poorly, but I certainly know better than the book on these portions!" lmao I love your videos. They're so scuffed, but the struggle is what makes it fun. You're wonderful!

What i like the most about this show and youe channel generally is your perseverance, not quitting until the thing works is not easy to do, yet a lot of ppl are taking for guarantee. Challeging yourself with such as hard recipe for an amateur as you call yourself is on the other hand very impressive. Keep going and best of luck

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 😅😅😅.
