The Baker's Hotline

You need to put fresh pasta into hot water that has been brought to a boil and then turned down. The water should not be a rolling boil when you put your pasta in the pan. That will cause your noodles to break apart. Another issue may have been that you did not knead the dough long enough and the gluten strands did not develop. Therefore, your pasta had no structure and fell apart. But it is a delicate balance, do not knead the dough too much because then it will be tough. Hope this helps and Happy Creating!! JoAnn@KAF
