Thanks Vanessa! My only fear of the rolling pin method is that the rolled dough will rip apart. Can you do a video on how to roll it? Any science that goes with it? I see you are mentioning the gravity trick. Any tips to share? Thanks a ton! Love your blog! Cheers! Gabi @ Mamaliga.com

Ciao Gabi,

I think it’s only different feed for the chicken that accounts for the different colors. Organic free range brown eggs tend to be more similar in color even here! On the pasta machine… everyone says that, but I challenge you to try the rolling pin: it’s actually faster (and also more fun!).
Ciao!

Ok – Why is that egg yolk more orangy looking? Different chicken? I remember as a child back in Romania our free-range (as they are called today) chicken eggs sometimes having one of those very orange colored yolks.

Great tip about using gravity! I usually make mine with the pasta machine

Great pics and post! Thanks

Cheers!
