Schnalstal pasta

Knead all ingredients into a firm dough. Then press through a “Nudeldruck” (traditional pasta press*). Spread the pasta evenly so it doesn’t stick together. Heat the butter in a pan without browning it, add the pasta and stir well until cooked. Serve as a main dish with Schnalstal lamb ragù.

The traditional pasta press can still be found on many historic farms in Schnalstal.
