From Their Kitchens

What our students are making

  • Hand-cut tagliatelle of uneven widths on a floured wooden board, next to a wooden rolling pin

    “I'd been putting off making pasta because I thought I needed a machine. I used the rolling pin I already had and made tagliatelle for Sunday lunch. The strips were all different widths, but my daughter asked if she could help cut them next time.”

    Hannah W.

    Verified Buyer

  • Fresh pappardelle nests next to a rolled-out pasta sheet on a floured countertop

    “My dough kept sticking to the counter. I was reaching for a clean bowl to start over when I checked the Troubleshooting Atlas. I made a small adjustment and tried rolling it again. We ended up having pappardelle for dinner from that same batch.”

    Daniel M.

    Verified Buyer

  • A tray of handmade ravioli with slightly irregular crimped edges, dusted with flour

    “I kept pausing the video while I filled the ravioli. I overfilled the first few, so I used a smaller spoon for the rest. Most of them came out of the pot still sealed. For a first try, I was pretty happy with that.”

    Claire B.

    Verified Buyer

  • A plate of homemade pasta with tomato sauce on a dinner table set for two

    “My partner and I tried this on a Friday night. I rolled the pasta while he picked a sauce from the recipe pack and got it started. We ate a bit later than planned, but we've already picked a shape for next time.”

Homemade pasta shouldn't end in frustration.

  • dough that's too sticky or crumbles apart
  • sheets that tear in the machine
  • pasta that comes out thick and gummy
  • no idea which flour to buy
  • fresh pasta that sticks together or spoils

This course shows you why it happens, and exactly how to fix it.

Your Pasta Guide

Ciao, I'm Maria. I've been making fresh pasta in Milano for 30 years.

If we were making pasta together at my kitchen table, I'd ask you to feel the dough before reaching for more flour. Does it cling to your fingertips? Does it pull back as you roll it? Those little details tell you what to try next.

The No-Fail Pasta Method is the path I'd share with a friend making fresh pasta for the first time. The video lessons show you what the dough should look like as you go, whether you use a rolling pin or a pasta machine. Keep the Pasta Rescue Cards on the counter so you can check what to try if the dough sticks or the sheet tears.

Take your time with that first batch. Some of your tagliatelle might come out wider than others, and that's fine. When you bring that first plate of fresh pasta to the table, you get to say, "I made this."

— Maria
