Must-Have Apps for Homemade Pasta
If you are a pasta lover, there is nothing more satisfying than making your pasta and sauce from scratch. Let apps help you learn how to make the dough, cook it to perfection, and make the best sauce to accompany the pasta.
Some of the best homemade pasta recipes don't include you buying dried store-bought pasta. Learning how to make fresh pasta may seem daunting, but with the help of apps, you can be making all kinds of varieties of pasta in no time. For example, apps like BBC Good Food can give you the steps to make fresh pasta in detail so you know what the dough should look and feel like in each step of the process. Therefore, it might be better to start off with one of the easier pasta recipes like fresh egg pasta. If you are a more visual learner, you can download apps like Panna which are filled with classes and videos so you can learn the practical skills of making pasta in real-time with a chef.
Now that you have your pasta dough ready, it is important to get homemade pasta tips on how to cook fresh pasta. Although store-bought pasta takes usually about 8-10 minutes to cook, fresh pasta takes less time and needs more attention. In reality, fresh pasta normally takes less than 3 minutes to cook through so its best to stand by and test after a minute or so. One of the best pasta to learn is an easy homemade ravioli dough because not only is it fun, but you get to be really creative about what ingredients you would like to put inside the pasta. You can try a 4 cheese blend, spinach with mushrooms, or get inspired by real chefs on apps like Food Network Kitchen and come up with innovative stuffings like beetroot and cashews or pumpkin and sage.
Finally, you want to make the perfect pasta sauce to accompany your new delicious fresh pasta. Certainly, you have to learn how to make pasta with sauce to fulfill your new hobby and make a dinner everyone will enjoy. Therefore, learning what type of sauce suits the type of pasta you're making is important. For example, if you are making spaghetti, then you want to find pasta recipes that include a spicy arrabbiata sauce or anything tomato-based. Similarly, if you are making thin angel hair pasta, you want to look for sauce recipes that have seafood in them to match the delicacy of the noodles. Apps like La Pasta are a perfect place to go to get recipes or inspiration for any pasta dish.

This is one of my favorite apps for finding new recipes. Although I haven’t tried one of the pasta recipes in here, I’ve browsed the 100s of recipes on here and now with my new stand mixer I got for Christmas I’ll be checking it out even more.

I love this app when pairing meals with wines. It can tell you which of the 2 varietals go best with a spicy red sauce or what wines would be perfect for a specific occasion. It is a go-to for wine and food pairings.
