The water is prepared in large tanks that need to be constantly renewed.
3. Kneading the dough
Prepared water and flour are mixed.
4. Processing the dough
At this stage, pasta begins to remotely take the form that we are used to seeing on the shelves. The resulting dough is pressed, compacted and cut.
