A New Way to Cut Pasta
While I was at the CIA, I learned a great way to hand-cut pasta. Roll the dough out until it is a rectangle. Align with the long side facing you. Gently roll the dough towards the center and stop when you are there. Turn the dough around and repeat on the other side. It will be rolled up like a scroll. Slice the scroll into strips. When you are done, slide your knife under the roll to the center. Twist upward and lift. The strips will unroll on your knife. Pretty cool.
