first time making. got y dough done, kneaded to a beautiful consistency and its currently resting wrapped in gladwrap if the fridge. now. so recipes say it must be used/eaten as soon as its made and others say it can be put out on a rack to dry for at least an hour before you use it. (im hoping i can do the later as we've got someone due to 'pop in' and itll probaly be right at the time im finishing my rolling).

I always hang tagliatelle/spaghetti style pasta for a while, but lasagne style, I don't want it to dry out too much so I either use straight away or cover for a short time, but I'm no expert.[no Italian heritage at all ;o] Good luck with your pasta making . bet you never buy it again once you've tried it.

thats awesome. i shall go locate the wooden clothes air drier for my hanging frame, going with fettucine tonight, i usually by fresh from the supermarket but after a summer of making pizza dough im a 15min dough champ so i figure why not go the next step. ravioli is high on the list once i conquer this. thanks so much

I forgot to say that for any cannelloni type recipe . I can't be faffed messing around with the dried tubes . I roll it out as for lasagne, pop the filling on & roll it up. Tonight was chicken, proscuitto, cheese with a fresh tomato/basil cream sauce. It's an early Jo Seagar recipe . couldn't find it for you, but I am happy to post it, if you want it. BTW, I wouldn't mind the 15 min pizza dough recipe. Ravioli is still on my 'must try' list.

I've never "rested" mine. If it's going to be made into ravioli or lasagna or something I wouldn't let it sit around as dough but make it up now. If to be used as spaghetti or similar, once it is cut to strips, then it can sit around - it will just start to dry out. Dried pasta is fine - the shops are full of it.

Does anyone know if you can freeze freshly made pasta?

Agreed, definitely worth making pasta fresh for cannelloni. Very yum and so much easier to put together than the dried tubes are to stuff. I see a homemade pasta meal on our horizon, been far too long since I made pasta from scratch.
I second the request for the 15 minute pizza dough by the way. :)
