Is he supposed to grow the grain and mill the flour as well? Raise the chickens collect the eggs and raise the cow, slaughter it for beef? Start an olive farm and make oil? Grow the onions, carrots, all the seasonings as well? Where are you drawing the line guy because for 99% of people, the line gets drawn at pasta secca. There's literally no reason to make it homemade.

Almost nobody makes pasta secca at home. There's no reason to. You pull out the 00 flour, eggs and oil and get to work making pasta fresca when it comes to things like ravioli because there's really no better way to do it, but for this even professional chefs will buy the pasta secca pre-made.

Take like 1/4 cup of the drippings, add equal amount of flour and cook on the stove top over mediumish heat. Whisk really really well while adding the flour. Stir often and cook it until it gets smooth and starts to bubble and darken. Add around 2 cups of broth/drippings, stir well, heat to a boil and cook for another minute or two. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Make sure to taste before seasoning, it might not need much salt. Don't be shy with the pepper.
