Making homemade pasta can seem overwhelming, but by utilizing a few simple techniques, you will be making pasta in a snap! This is a homemade pasta (with egg yolks only), and all-purpose flour. If you want to step it up a notch go for “00” flour instead. I mixed my ingredients to make a smooth, silky pasta, then I let it rest for 15-20 minutes. Rolling it out by hand was very easy, but the trick is to divide and conquer the dough.  One piece of dough, divide into 2-3 equal parts. Using a little flour, so it doesn’t stick, roll in every direction working the dough to make it as thin as possible. Once you have the pasta rolled out you can then decide to make linguine or ravioli, whatever you like.

If you are making ravioli, the inside is your choice, but this one is made of sweet potato with sauteed shallots, fresh thyme and a little butter. The sauce is complimentary flavors: lemon, olive oil, flour, butter, thyme, shallots. This combination is amazing!!!!!!!! There are so many sauces you can create.
