Let's Look at Each Step Again

The 3 folds. Set up your pasta machine. Take your rested dough – it could be our classic egg or eggless dough, or maybe one of our colorful creations like brown, green, orange, or purple! Start with the magical 3 initial folds. 📚✉️ Then roll it out until it's a thin, smooth sheet.

Cut out rectangles. Grab your pizza cutter – it's not just for pizzas anymore! Now, use it to carefully cut your sheet of dough into a nice, clean rectangle. 📏✂️

Slice the dough into strips. Take your trusty pizza cutter and turn that big rectangle of dough into smaller strips. Just like a train on tracks, run your pizza cutter across the dough, making even strips.

Small rectangles. Transform your long pasta strips into small rectangles. It's like creating little tickets for a fabulous pasta feast! Take each strip and use your cutter to snip, snip, snip them into cute, small rectangles.

Transform strips into butterflies. It's time to turn each rectangular strip into a beautiful butterfly! 🦋 And you can do it in 2 different ways! Try them both and pick your favorite!

🤏 Pinching on the table. Take a strip and gently pinch it in the middle. This pinch is like creating the body of your butterfly, while the sides puff out like delicate wings. Remember, we're making butterflies, not bugs, so a gentle squeeze is all you need – just enough to give it shape without squishing it. Watch as your pasta starts to look like a fluttery garden of butterflies! Isn't it amazing how a simple pinch can bring your pasta to life? 🌼🍝✨

🤏 Pinching in the air. Watch closely! Try pinching in the air like we do! 🧐🦋

Once you've shaped your farfalle, place them on a pasta dryer to chill out or sprinkle them with semolina flour. It's like giving them a little blanket so they don't stick together.

Now you are ready to cook your farfalle with a grown-up! 🧑‍🍳🌱
