How to Make Homemade Pasta

Summary: Preserving and preparing traditional recipes is an integral part of Italian-American culture. Mothers and fathers teach their sons and daughters how to cook food that their grandmothers and grandfathers ate in the “old country.” Since food helps keep Italian families together, the recipes tend to be rich and hearty, good for sharing with several people around a big table.

One of the traditions of Italian cooking is to hand make many of the ingredients, including sauces and pastas.
