Basic pasta recipe. Jazz this up with herbs of your choice or experiment with different flours. Having fond memories of my mom making fresh pasta, I was yearning for the pasta attachment for my KitchenAid mixer. Guess I hinted enough, because my punks got it for me for Mother's Day! Ingredients:
2 eggs |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups flour |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 teaspoon basil, dried (2 t fresh, minced) |
1 teaspoon parsley, dried (2 t fresh, minced) |
1 teaspoon thyme, dried (2 t fresh, minced) |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 tablespoon water |
Directions:
1. Place flour & salt (may be omitted) in mixer & turn on.
2. Add remainder of ingredients while mixing.
3. Drizzle water in until dough forms a ball & holds together.
4. Add teaspoons of flour, 1 at a time, if dough seems sticky.
5. or - add teaspoons of water, 1 at a time, if dough seems dry.
6. Knead until dough is elastic, smooth, & satiny.
7. IMPORTANT: Let rest 30 minutes!
8. Divide into 4 portions & roll out or extrude with pasta machine.
9. Cook in boiling water 3 minutes (DO NOT OVERCOOK)!
10. or - dust lightly with flour, place in freezer bags & freeze (keeps up to 3 months).
11. NOTE: Cooking time is resting time.
