Fresh Pasta Recipe - Cooking Index
I do not believe fresh pasta is necessarily superior to the dried product. Some is better, some is not. When you desire a very thin pasta, however, it must be made fresh. If you have a hand-crank pasta machine it requires little effort. I do not care for pasta from those electric "extruder" machines. Pasta must be rolled for me.
Type: Pasta| 1 1/2 cups | 93g / 3.3oz | Unbleached white flour |
| 1 cup | 62g / 2.2oz | Semolina flour |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Salt |
| 3 | Eggs | |
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Olive oil |
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Water |
Place the flours and salt in a large bowl. Mix well and form a well in the center. Add the remaining ingredients and pinch all together with your fingers to form a dough. Knead for a few minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the dough on the counter and cover with the bowl. Let rest 30 minutes.
Knead a few times again and form into any shape desired. Remember to allow your pasta to dry for about an hour before cooking.
Most pasta forms freeze very well. Dry a bit first, then freeze on covered trays or in boxes.
