You might want to try an herbed pasta with a cream or butter sauce. You can use fresh herbs which would taste better as well. Some times dried herbs can get caught when the pasta is being pushed out. Hope that helps.The Family Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454533400774902957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378633598138280069.post-75056407640663732222010-01-25T15:58:39.251-08:002010-01-25T15:58:39.251-08:00Thanks for you help.

For short pasta's how do i let it dry/rest without it sticking.<br />-On the counter; make sure there is plenty of space and put flour down before.<br /><br />2. I am making a tomato based sauce, any recommendations on putting herbs in the pasta?<br />-I posted a blog entry called "Weeknight Tomato Sauce". You can search in the top left corner of the blog. It's simple and delicious. For the basil, you can buy chopped basil some times in the produce section of your grocery store. Keep that in the freezer and use about 1 tsp.<br /><br />3. Do you put any salt and/or oil in the boiling water when cooking fresh pasta?<br />-You don't need oil; just plenty of water and a good amount of salt when it comes to a boil.

If you can, I would suggest waiting at least 20 minutes from when the last piece of pasta is cut. By that time, the other pieces will be dry enough. If you boil the water when you are done cutting the pasta (remember, a big pot filled 3/4 water is always best), the timing should be perfect.The Family Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454533400774902957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378633598138280069.post-88901507133971386642010-01-25T09:10:00.930-08:002010-01-25T09:10:00.930-08:00Thanks for the writeup and pictures.
