Cook for 2-4 minutes and then drain.

 

Serve


Uncooked fresh pasta can be frozen, simply form the cut pasta into 'nests', allow to dry and then place them into a freezer bag on a flat tray in the freezer until frozen – once frozen you can remove the tray and condense all of the 'nests' into one large bag without crushing the pasta. When ready to cook, boil a large saucepan of water, add salt and then add the pasta straight from the freezer – it is not recommended to defrost the pasta first as it can affect the texture.
