A good mixture never remains on your fingers.
Don’t use eggs when you take them out of the fridge! Let them out of the fridge a little bit before using them.
The fresh pasta boils sooner, between 2 and 5 minutes depending on its thickness.
Pasta can be kept for 1-2 weeks if it is preserved in a cold place.
