Well there would no point in making a video otherwise 😂

[@jasonxhx7854]

@@mattsturgess1545 a lot of people make videos and explain the processes but not *why* you make those choices. Successful teaching is a two part process, both how and why.

[@zoegardiner9614]

I agree

Frank I made pasta from scratch on my own at 17 because your instructions were so easy 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

I love Frank so much! And he's a very good teacher

[@TheMrCC21]

Considering he is a culinary instructor at the Institute of Culinary Education...

[@KyleSantisi]

Also a teacher at my school

[@gsent56]

Making fresh pasta doesn't need a lot of ingredients, except time. But absolutely worth it!!

[@fionagibson7529]

The way he kneads the dough is the exact same way I was taught to prep clay before sculpting, to get rid of all the air pockets and evenly distribute the moisture!

[@TheFierywaters]

Of course he made his own kitchen equipment from scratch. The man not just embraces his meme, he flaunts it!!

[@tabijozwick]

As a semi-retired Professional Chef it was fun watching this as it reminded me of a few pasta making lessons I had to learn through experience. I was LMAO when he was talking about the pasta stretching back if you didn't let it rest as that was my first on the job lesson in pasta making. Great Job Chef!!!

Never gonna do this myself but it's really interesting to watch

[@The_Timinator]

Ya never know, my Son and I made Ravioli once a month for years when he was a Teenager. It's actually fun to do, we would try different fillings every time. He and I played Video Games together on the Weekend and we'd take a break and go make the dough, play some more games, then go roll it out, I have a Hand Crank Pasta Machine, so I would crank and feed and he would catch and fold. The Ravioli gizmo I have is like an Ice Cube Tray you lay the flat pasta over the tray and press the dough down into the "cup" and then spoon in your filling and then another layer of Pasta on top to seal the Ravioli and a Roller that came with it was pressed and rolled over the Pasta and the Tray had a nice edge that cut the Ravioli apart. Yeah it's a little work but, MOST good cooking is... A cool Date Night Meal with a Special Person for sure.

My fav pasta making video ever. I actually learned to make pasta on vacation in Florence. I needed a brush up. You provided great guidance. Thank You Chef

[@emirmontazeri]

Wow, I’m so early that Frank is still harvesting his wheat

[@ttpp374]

I've watched probably 30 videos on making fresh pasta dough and every time my dough turned out so firm you couldn't even knead it. The way he explained why you make the volcano and slowly incorporate the flour made so much sense. My first attempt after watching this my pasta turned out perfectly!

I use 100g AP flour, 100g semolina and 2 eggs. 1 egg per 100g of flour. And a pinch of salt. I personally like to wisk the eggs first in a cup, and then pour over flour. Super fast, super easy

You can freeze your homemade egg pasta. Divide into portions you'll use, flour it well, then freeze in separate sealed containers. Put it in the boiling water while still frozen.

[@tabiripetrovich517]

My hungarian great-grandmother had that device you were using. Gnocci board? When i visited Hungary i was amazed by tge culture around the pasta. The rolling board was a piece of art, mostly given by boys to the girl who they wanted to marry. They burned the name of the girl into the board. Ladies used it for a lifetime, they took care of it like as if it was gold. When october hit, they used to gather in somebody's house to make "snailshell pasta" as they calked it, and they were rolling tge pasta for hours. Meanwhile they were singing and telling stories and the kids were playing by the fire - it must have been amazing. It made me think if what we have lost by adjusting to the modern life.

[@proteinpapi7595]

I am hungarian and I can confirm

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

I made the best pasta I’ve ever eaten because of this video!! Wow I’m shook thank you for this!!!

[@_Toxicity]

For me, the problem with homemade pasta is when you're feeding 4-7 people and everyone is going to eat seconds and want leftovers for the next day. That's a LONG time investment to make pasta. But thanks to these videos, I have tried it when I am cooking for just myself. Thanks!

[@magnabhb5392]

1:32 THANK YOU!!! Well not today. But i used to be scared of making a mess on the kitchen. If i knew that you could use the mixer to make the dough i would've done it sooner. You are the first one i saw saying you have that option. And for the smartasses on the block. In theory the mixer could screw up the dough( Like making too much gluten, making the dough too chewy) and yeah it is a reason for people to be afraid of trying it without someone saying it's okay to do so
