Authentic Homemade Pasta

• porciones: 6 servings
• tiempo activo: 1 hour
• tiempo total: 1 hour 33 minutes

Ingredientes

2½ cups all purpose flour (300 grams)

2½ cups 00 flour (300 grams)

6 large eggs (room temperature)

1-2 pinches salt

½-1 tablespoon olive oil

Instrucciones

On a flat surface place the flour and make a well in the middle, add the eggs and gently start to combine the the two, add a drizzle of olive oil and the salt, continue to bring the ingredients together and knead to form a smooth and elastic dough.

Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let rest for 30 minutes. This step is extremely important as it allows the gluten to relax, the flavors to blend together for the dough to achieve the perfect texture. After resting, the dough is then sliced and gently flattened with the palm of your hand.

Then roll the dough out into thin sheets, be sure to keep the dough well floured to avoid it sticking, either with a machine or by hand, or shaped into a variety of forms. We decided to use the machine again to cut into fettucine, then place the pasta on a floured flat surface, be sure to lightly dust the pasta again with four to keep it from sticking.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, (adding a drizzle of olive oil), cook the fettuccine until al dente, drain and toss with your choice of sauce and serve with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese if desired.

Notas

If you find the dough to be too dry add a little bit of water to bring it together while kneading.

To make this accurate use the metric system, for every 100 grams of flour add 1 large egg.

When passing the dough through the machine pass first through the large then again through the thinner size.

For this recipe I used my simple sauce recipe, or even tossing with a mushroom sauce would be very good.

Any leftover pasta must be stored in an airtight container and stored in the fridge for up to two days.

You can freeze fresh raw pasta in the various forms as you wish. To freeze, place the pasta well spaced on a baking sheet and then place in the freezer to firm up for a couple of hours. When the pasta is firm, move to a freezer bag or container and freeze. When you are ready to eat, boil directly from frozen in boiling water and proceed as per the recipe.
