flat pasta benefits from being used

is common practice to prepare the complete

Pin
the rested pasta as for cannelloni
and cut into rectangle lengths approx
10cm x 15cm (4in x 6in) wide: sometimes
the edges are crimped to produce
a frill along the length.
Cook
in plenty of boiling salted water
and drain.
Remember If
you are organised there is no reason
why flat pasta cannot be finished
as ordered which will produce a better
product. Competent chefs are organised,
and organised chefs are competent
!
