The ultimate homemade pasta guide

September 8, 2014 • In Comfort Food, Italian-style, Pasta,

In celebration of Comfort Food, we’re getting right into what might be one of the ultimate prideful cooking experiences with this homemade pasta guide.

In Jamie's series Comfort Food, he and his mentor, Italian-cuisine maestro Gennaro Contaldo, made a beautiful, fresh version of a tinned school-food classic: Bolognese ravioli. As Jamie brings together the rich, slow-cooked pork and veal ragu, Gennaro takes on each step of making the fresh pasta, before the two gleefully work together to bring the silky little parcels together.

It’s always an experience watching Gennaro cook, but to see him making pasta is something else entirely. Well, we not only have the recipes for the very pasta dough and Bolognese ravioli made on the show right here on JamieOliver.com, but we’ve even got a special one-on-one with Gennaro crafting his favourite pasta shapes. Come on!

And, for any of our readers with a gluten intolerance, never fear, we’ve got you covered too – check out our awesome Gluten-free pasta dough recipe right here.
