Hungarian pasta workshop and dinner
Home made pasta is not only an Italian tradition. Hungarian families in the countryside also made their own pasta using it for delicious dishes: the amazing Hungarian meat soup is made with vermicelli (cérnametélt) and the easy Hungarian pasta with potato and onion is made with a typical quadratic shape pasta.
If you would like to learn more about Hungarian pasta, get to know how to knead, how to shape, join my workshop and I will show you!
We are going to knead pasta dough using flour and eggs then I will show you typical Hungarian shapes. You will learn how to use pasta machine as well. From the pasta dough we are going to shape different variations: vermicelli, tagliatelle and a square pasta for our dinner. After the shaping, I will show how to cook Hungarian potato and onion pasta, which will be served with pickles (the meal is vegetarian). This nice traditional food will be your light dinner.
The other shape you made, you can bring to home.
