Whilst the Heinz ravioli recipe didn’t make it into Theo’s new book, he told Tom that there are plenty of fresh pasta recipes in there, and he even gave listeners one to try, describing it as, “an absolutely perfect recipe for pasta.” When Tom asked if you can roll it by hand or if you need a pasta-making machine, the chef told him: “You can roll it out by hand.
