Vincenzo’s Top Tips To Make Pasta Sauce
Just keep on kneading
Keep kneading the dough so that it begins to firm up and also smooth out.
Make sure the egg doesn’t run away!
Bring the edges of the flour into the center with the fork, and quickly continue to cover them all the way around. Keep doing this until all of the eggs have folded into the flour. You will need to use your hands at this point.
Sprinkle it on top
Sprinkle a generous amount of parmesan cheese on top along with a few leftover basil or celery leaves.
Slow cook the sauce
To achieve the best flavor and texture for your sauce, it’s important to cook it slowly on low heat. This allows the flavors to blend together and the sauce to thicken.
Use fresh and quality ingredients
When making your sauce, it’s important to use fresh ingredients that are of good quality. Fresh ingredients will ensure that your sauce has the best flavor and taste.

- Whisk the eggs carefully using a fork.

- Keep kneading the dough so that it begins to firm up and also smooth out.
- Cut a couple of slices from the main piece – approx. 2-2.5cm thick, and feed them through the largest slot in your fresh pasta making machine. Each time it passes through, fold it together and repeat.
- Work your way down to the thinner options until you get the smooth consistency required. You might need to sprinkle some added flour on top of the sheet, to prevent it from sticking.
