I spent the day playing around and making pasta with my new pasta maker (thanks Mom!). Making pasta dough is very easy and straight forward, you can get workable ingredients together in no time.
All you need is some semolina flour, eggs, and salt, pulse these ingredients in a food processor a few times and then rest for 20 – 30 minutes.
Flatten out the dough, and then just keep compressing it through the roller to the desired width and texture before slicing into noodles. My linguine came out perfectly. It went straight into a asparagus and pancetta white wine reduction, which was quite tasty.
Due to the ease and simplicity of making homemade pasta, I plan to make ALL of my pasta from scratch and freeze it for future ingestion from here on out. I also want to make experimental raviolis the size of my head. Proof!
Sweet, looks awesome!
