He'd never done it, but he remembered watching his mother spread flour on the table before laying the fresh-cut pasta down, then sprinkling more flour on top. Once it was dry enough to not stick together, shake out the excess flour and you're good to go.<br/><br/>I'm sure the commercial processes are more based on getting the moisture content of the pasta <em>just right</em> so it holds together without sticking. But "commercial process" usually means high-pressure extruded noodles, which don't absorb the sauce as well as cut pasta. Fiona, that’s something I just learned from Lou.
