Making Pasta in Rimini

I loved watching this woman make pasta. She was already working when I arrived for lunch (one of the reasons I chose this place) and continued the entire span of my leisurely lunch.

 

The dough was already made and sits in the bin to her left on the table. It's covered with a damp cloth to keep it from drying out.

 

She first made several batches of tortellini and then moved on to tagliatelle.

 

She was a really great sport - I'd asked if I could take photos and she smiled as she agreed but I'm not sure she was prepared for me to jump up from my table (I'd chosen to sit just behind her) and snap a few shots at each step in the process. I probably took about 60 photos and she didn't seem bothered at all.
