Egg Pasta Dough<\/span>

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\n
Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
10 ounces (est. 2 cups) all-purpose flour, plus some extra for dusting<\/div>\n
2 whole large eggs (est. 4 ounces)<\/div>\n
4 yolks from 4 large eggs (est. 2.5 ounces)<\/div>\n
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus some extra to salt the pasta water<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
1. To Make the Dough:<\/em><\/div>\n
\n
On a large surface, pour flour in a mound. Make a well in the center. Pour whole eggs, egg yolks, and salt into well and, using a fork, beat thoroughly. When combined, gradually incorporate flour into the eggs until a wet, sticky dough has formed.<\/p>\n
2.Using a bench knife begin to fold additional flour into the dough with the bench knife, turning the dough roughly 45 degrees each time, until dough feels firm and dry, and can form a craggy-looking ball, 2 to 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
3. Press the heel of your hand into the ball of dough, pushing forward and down. Rotate the ball 45 degrees and repeat.\u00a0 Continue until dough develops a smooth, elastic texture similar to a firm ball of Play-Doh. If dough feels too wet, add flour in 1 teaspoon increments. If dough feels too dry, add water slowly using a spray bottle.<\/p>\n
4.Wrap ball of dough tightly in plastic wrap and rest on countertop for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
5.To Roll the Pasta:<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Meanwhile, place a sheet of parchment paper on a tray or cutting board and dust lightly with flour.\u00a0 Unwrap rested dough and cut into quarters. Set one quarter on work surface and re-wrap remaining dough. With a rolling pin, flatten the quarter of dough into an oblong shape about 1\/2 inch thick.<\/p>\n
6. Set pasta maker to widest setting and pass dough 3 times through the machine at this setting.<\/p>\n
7. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface. Fold both ends in so that they meet at the center of the dough, and then fold the dough in half where the end points meet, trying not to incorporate too much air into the folds. Using rolling pin, flatten dough to 1\/2-inch thick. Pass through the rollers 3 additional times.<\/p>\n
8. Narrow the setting by 1 notch and repeat Step 7. Repeat once more (the dough should now have passed through the third widest setting). Continue passing the dough through the rollers, reducing the thickness by 1 setting each time until it reaches the desired thickness. It should now be very delicate and elastic to the touch, and slightly translucent.<\/p>\n
9. Place rolled dough onto a work surface or baking sheet lightly dusted with flour or lined with parchment paper, folding the dough over as necessary so that it fits; sprinkle with flour or line with parchment between folds to prevent sticking.<\/p>\n
10. Cover dough with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel to prevent drying, then repeat Steps 5 through 9 with remaining dough quarters. If making noodles, cut dough into 12- to 14-inch segments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
11.To Cut Noodles:<\/em><\/div>\n
\n
Adjust pasta machine to noodle setting of your choice. Working one dough segment at a time, feed dough through the pasta-cutter. Alternatively, cut folded dough by hand with a chef’s knife to desired noodle width.<\/p>\n
12. Divide the cut noodles into individual portions, dust lightly with flour, and curl into a nest. Place on parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and gently cover with kitchen towel until ready to cook. Pasta can be frozen directly on the baking sheet, transferred to a zipper-lock freezer bag, and stored in the freezer for up to three weeks before cooking. Cook frozen pasta directly from the freezer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
13. To Cook:<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add pasta, stir gently with a wooden spoon, chopsticks, or a cooking fork, and cook, tasting at regular intervals until noodles are just set with a definite bite, about 1 1\/2 to 2 minutes.<\/div>\n
\n
Drain, toss with sauce, and serve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
*Note: As your pasta rests for 30 minutes take the time to do the sauce and place in refrigerator till needed*<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Spinach-Basil Pesto<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ingredients:<\/strong><\/div>\n
3 cups spinach<\/div>\n
3 cups basil<\/div>\n
1 1\/2 cups of canola oil<\/div>\n
4 cloves of garlic<\/div>\n
1 teaspoon salt, some extra to season water.<\/div>\n
\n
\u00bd teaspoon white pepper or black pepper<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n
1. Place garlic and \u00bd cup of oil in a saut\u00e9 pan and caramelize till golden brown. Set aside with oil to cool or reach room temperature.<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
2. In a pot bring water up to a boil and place some salt, spinach and basil. Cook the greens for about 45-60 seconds. Drain the greens and place them in an ice bath.<\/p>\n
3. Once greens have cooled place them in a blender with the garlic and its current oil.<\/p>\n
4. Turn the blender on medium and blend together slowly emulsifying the remainder of the oil.<\/p>\n
5. Season with salt and pepper and place in an airtight container to prevent browning on top. Store in refrigerator. Use as needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Making the Dish<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Parmesan as needed<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n
1. In a large saute pan heat up a little oil.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>2. Place some of the sauce (depends on how much you want) in the pan and heat it up<\/p>\n
3. Add the pasta and toss together with the parmesan. (if too thick add some of the pasta water to thin it out)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
4. Take off the heat and place the pasta in the serving dishes, garnish with any sort of cheese you like and ENJOY!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I’ll be honest, I live here in Florida and am terrible at cooking, so I may leave the pasta to the professionals, but I’d love to hear about it if those of you with a little more talent then me try it out!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Buon Appetito!<\/div>\n

I was invited to sample some of the Italian offerings this year by Via Napoli and Tutto Italia, but as always opinions are my own.<\/span><\/p>\n
