Noting to do with the football but wanted to know if there was a way of getting in touch with the Italian Chef that works at the complex. A nice guy and I think he might be able to help me track down some pasta flour for my son.
Also wondering if any of you know if there is a shop in Mick's Italian Quarter in Dublin that would sell it? Having no luck getting it anywhere and my son is sick of sieving flour 3 times when making home made pasta!
What flour are you looking for? I just use Strong, but I'm sure you should be able to pick up type 00 in a more specialised shop.
Yeah its the Tipo 00 flour we are looking for. He is sick of sieving the other stuff. Spent ages yesterday in Dundalk & Drogheda trying to track some down. Gonna check with the Italian restaurant in Monaghan too but just hoping to find a good source of it.Quote:

For me, home made pasta means buying
a bag of penne and cooking it at home :D
yeah same with me until Dylan discovered Jamie!
I use Strong flour and never (or usually don't) bother to sieve it. Certainly not three times. Does he have a pasta machine? I do plenty of rolling and folding on the thickest level before I get going, and never have any problems.
Yeah he has a pasta machine. Will get some strong flour and tell him that so!
