How to shape pasta dough without special tools.

The idea of this video is to demonstrate an ancient technique of making pasta. In the past, our nonas did have different utensils specially made for shaping and cutting pasta and which were transferred from mothers to daughters. But most families did not have this type of equipment. To shape the dough, people used simple tools such as knives, forks and spatulas.

In the video I use a hollow spoon to shape the dough. This type of format is great for soaking the sauce into the pasta so that when we eat the pasta we get more sauce and more flavor.
