TRY TO USE BEANS OR CHICKPEAS AS SUBSTITUTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE PASTA. IT’S A FUN WAY TO TRY OUT DIFFERENT VARIATIONS (BUT DON’T TELL YOUR ITALIAN FRIENDS)
This is a good one sometimes I’ll make a marinara with white beans and then cover it in fresh mozzarella and toss the skillet under the broiler until the cheese gets all browned
Fricelli! Capricci! Ditalini! Delight in the dozens (hundreds?) of ways humans have rolled out and reshaped dough. Is there a poster of pastas you can color in every time you try a new shape? Should be.
