Looking for a pasta recipe {Recipes}

[Guest guest]

Hi Lorelei:) As promised...from " The Classic Pasta Cookbook " by

Giuliano Hazan.

 

Pasta Dough:

 

3 large eggs (I would imagine that egg substitutes could be used)

2 1/4 c. all purpose flour

 

***Variations:

Red Pasta - For each egg, add 1 tsbp of tomato paste to the beaten

eggs and mix well. (I would image you could also add finely chopped

sundried tomatoes to this as well).

 

Green Pasta - For each egg, use 4 oz fresh spinach or 2 1/2 oz of

thawed frozen spinach. Cook in salted water, squeeze out excess

water, and finely chop before using. Add to the egg mixture and mix

well.

 

Mixing the flour & eggs:

 

1. Pour the flour into a mound on a good working surface and make a

well in the center with your fingers.

 

2. Break the eggs one by one into the well.

 

3. Beat the eggs gently with a fork until the yolks and whites are

evenly mixed together.

 

4. With the fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs

until the eggs are no longer runny, taking care not to collapse the

walls of the well too quickly.

 

Kneading the dough:

 

1. This step must be done quickly and without hesitation or you mat

end up losing some of the egg mixture. Using both hands, swiftly

bring the remaining flour uver the egg mixture so that it is

completely covered.

 

2. Begin working the mass with your hands until all of the flour is

mixed in with the eggs. Decide whether you need more flour: the

dough should feel moist but not sticky. When it is the right

consistency, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.

 

3. Scrape away any dough stuck on the work surface and wash your

hands well. Unwrap the dough and begin kneading.

 

4. Use the heel of your palm to push the dough down and away from

you. Rotate the dough a 1/4 turn & repart the process until the

dough is uniform and very smooth. Immediately wrap it in plastic

wrap and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before rolling it out.
