Everything Sophia Loren says about pasta is true: It’s delicious, never a mistake and seriously fun to make fresh (okay, we added that last part). Move over, sourdough—we’ve got a new kitchen passion project.
From learning how to make your own egg pasta dough, to the variety of shapes and styles you can mould, cut and roll it into, we can't think of a better indoor winter hobby to spend our time on right now. Paying off in delicious dishes like duck ragù, extra-large pumpkin raviolis swimming in brown butter and sage and more, pasta night is a new adventure every week.
Try one of our brand-new homemade pasta recipes:
Homemade Egg Pasta Dough
Try this fun kitchen project and be amazed by the results!
Tip: The “Tipo 00” flour we call for in this pasta recipe is more finely ground than semolina and all-purpose flours. Its low-protein content produces a silky texture for pasta. Feel free to swap all-purpose flour for tipo 00 in any of these recipes—or use a 50/50 mix.

Homemade Sage and Pumpkin Ravioli
Got another squash in mind? Feel free to swap pumpkin purée for roasted and blended butternut, kabocha, delicata or buttercup— any kind of flavourful fall or winter squash that strikes your fancy.

Homemade Fregola Sarda Clam Pasta
If you've never tried clam soup, this recipe is for you. Stewed with tangy tomatoes, garlic, zesty lemon and tender homemade pasta, it will be an instant hit. The process of making fregola sarda pasta from scratch is a little different than other pastas; find our recipe for it here. Tip: Try a store-bought swap if you're low on time! Dry fregola sarda or Israeli couscous work well in this recipe, too.

Homemade Farfalle Roasted Broccolflower Pasta
This easy roasted broccoflower pasta recipe is packed with tender-crisp vegetables, and shards of crispy, salty prosciutto (all perfect matches for the cheesy pasta bows). Tip: Substitute store-bought farfalle if you're short on time.

Homemade Duck Ragú & Pappardelle
An indulgent, delicious meal to make when you're looking to impress. (Or until you can go to your favourite Italian restaurant again.) Tip: This recipe has a shortcut: store-bought confit duck legs, so it's actually really easy to put together.
