Fresh pasta.

At Appetito, not surprisingly, we talk a lot about pasta. We talk dry pasta, and we talk fresh pasta in our recipes, roundups, features, and news. What we have yet to do, though, is share a recipe for making fresh pasta at home — something we highly recommend.

Thanks to our contributor, Chef Jackie Bakula, we now have a simple recipe for you to make your own pasta and use it in as many ways as you can imagine.
