Rolling the egg-pasta sheet

Bologna Welcome describes kneading flour and eggs, then rolling the dough outward from the center. The required thickness depends on the intended shape.

Tagliatelle, lasagne and tortelloni

Choose the shape before the sauce. Bologna’s egg-pasta tradition includes tagliatelle, lasagne and tortelloni; our suggestion is to compare these three preparations rather than treat egg pasta as one format.
