Let’s Make Fresh Pasta With Jersey’s Own Julia Molinari!

Who doesn’t love a good bowl of freshly made pasta?

Known for making delicious-looking pizzas of all kinds, Julia Molinari recently shared her pasta cooking demo on TikTok, which quickly went viral.

Molinari, known for sharing cooking demos shot in her family’s Italian restaurant or her own kitchen, took her cooking outside on a beautiful spring day.

“It’s a beautiful day in Jersey. Sun is shining, birds are chirping, kids are laughing,” she said as she prepped for her pasta-making demonstration. “Using double zero flour. I’m gonna do this just like so.”

She poured some flour onto the table and then made a hole in the middle for an egg. After grabbing an egg, she cracked it into the hole and then “slowly incorporated the egg.” She then kneaded and rolled the freshly made dough, put it in some plastic wrap, and then into the refrigerator to chill for a bit.

While Molinari said that you can “use a pasta machine,” she doesn’t want to break the glass table she’s been preparing the dough on so she just rolls it out by hand. After using a rolling pin to flatten out the dough, she rolled it up, cut it into pieces, and said, “Bada bing, fresh cooked pasta.”

“Now you can do whatever you want with this,” she said. As kids were screaming and having a great time in the background, Molinari sprinkled on some oil and cheese before diving in.

“You have no clue, you really don’t,” she said as she enjoyed a bite. “There’s something so fresh about fresh pasta. Store-bought pasta, it just doesn’t do it. It can’t compete where you don’t compare.”

Molinari’s video received more than 1.5 million views and tons of positive comments.

“You made that look so easy. That’s amazing,” one viewer wrote in the comment section. Another added, “I agree with the kid in the background ‘WOOAAAOOHH.’ He knew it was gonna be good.”

So now you have a plate of fresh pasta but you want to add something more? How about some homemade whipped ricotta to go with that pasta? Molinari shared a video of just how to make that!

“You know what I love? Ricotta. Let’s do something with it,” she said. The Jersey girl, who had a tub of ricotta, then grabbed a lemon and sliced it up before adding a generous amount of ricotta to her blender with some fresh squeezed lemon juice, “special olive oil” and seasoning. Then it was time to blend it up!

After a little taste test, Molinari added a bit more fresh squeezed lemon juice. She then sliced up a loaf of bread and toasted it in a pan of olive oil before adding the whipped ricotta to the top of the slices and enjoying.

“The way she says ricotta is a new unlocked love language,” one viewer shared in the comments. Another said, “Always making me hungry.”

When Molinari isn’t in the kitchen cooking up a storm and sharing her demos with more than 2 million followers on TikTok, she’s often found on a beach enjoying the sun and water.

In a recently shared carousel of photos on Instagram captioned, “Need beach,” Molinari is seen taking some time out of the kitchen to enjoy the Jersey shore in a bikini.

One viewer joked, “Didn’t know my name was beach,” and another shared Molinari’s iconic phrase, “Let’s make a pizza.”

Her post received 138,000 likes and hundreds of positive comments.

Earlier this year, Molinari visited Miami to capture some beach vibes while it was still a bit chilly in New Jersey, where she calls home.

In a carousel of photos, the popular content creator and pizza-making model was enjoying some time on a boat wearing a bikini.  More than 60,000 people liked her photos and many shared positive thoughts. Lots of heart-eyed and flame emojis filled the comment section, as well as compliments.

And when Molinari visited Hawaii in April, not long after Miami, she also shared some snaps modeling a skimpy summer dress which grabbed tons of attention.
