  • This video is a step-by-step tutorial showing how to roll out egg pasta by hand the traditional Italian way, using an enormous rolling pin called a 'Matterello'.
    Welcome to Bologna, capital of the Emilia Romagna region of italy.
    Here, we have a wonderful tradition - that of making pasta by hand with a huge rolling pin.
    If you think Tortellini, Tortelloni, Tagliatelle, Pappardelle, Farfalle and a whole host of other pasta shapes, the likelihood is that they all come from here. In this video tutorial, I show you each and every step to rolling out an amazing 'sfoglia' or sheet of dough by hand, the craft honed by pasta grannies all over Northern Italy.
    Rolling an egg pasta dough by hand, with a wooden rolling pin and on a wooden board does something magical - it creates an amazing texture and mouthfeel as well as picking up the sauce and condiment.
    Pasta, at the end of the day, is all about texture. Rolling a pasta dough by hand is not as difficult as it looks. Give it a try and see how it goes. If you want more in-depth tutorials, you can find these here: / yummyitaly

    • @yummyitaly1970

      The purpose of this technique is to let the weight of the pin and slight pressure extend the dough organically

    • @yummyitaly1970
      @yummyitaly1970  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks for letting me know you like it! The board 120cm x 60cm and has a front downward lip to stop it sliding across the table and moving around. here in Italy usually beech, birch, poplar are used. Not plywood but wooden panels that have been put together. I bought it as it is and am not a carpenter so can't help with technical details I am afraid! But am happy to send you a link to the website if you're interested!

    Thank you for sharing. What is the size of the Mattarello? I understand that length is dictated by the wooden board width, but what is the thickness? I’m making mine from wooden dowel, should it be around 4.5 to 5 cm?
    Also do you take special care of yours?
    Please keep adding more detailed pasta videos ; it keeps us inspired!

    • @yummyitaly1970
      @yummyitaly1970  3 роки тому +6

      Ciao! You're welcome. In this video my board is 100 cm x 60 cm and my Mattarello is 90cm long and 35mm in diameter. A lot will depend on the kind of wood you are using and the size of your hands. My hands are quite small, but also remember that the heavier the Mattarello is, the harder it is to lift and turn, especially when you have pasta hanging off it. Let me know how it goes! Also, one end of the Mattarello is rounded and this is to perfect the edges. Only one end is bevelled. Hope this information helps.

    Why do people use pasta machine? Is it really that hard to roll baby hand? It looks fairly easy in your video but I hear many people complaint about the difficulty of rolling. Unless you make large volumes a machine is probably useful?

    • @yummyitaly1970
      @yummyitaly1970  2 роки тому +1

      It is only hard if you don't have a specific technique to follow. All my students are able to roll by hand with practice. Obviously, you need practice as with everything, but if you follow the instructions carefully, you will be able to do it!
