The Best Pasta Dough Ever! (pasta dough recipe)

2009-05-15T22:06:00.000+07:00

pasta dough recipe

This dough can be used for any type of filled pasta such as Ravioli, Tortellini, etc etc as well as fresh pasta such as pappardelle, linguine etc etc.

Combine all the ingredients together. Knead till you form a solid dough, work it well, this is a must to develop the gluten in the dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for at least 30min.

Cut the dough in 2, dust with flour, pass the pasta through the widest setting, working your way down to the second most thinnest setting, should be about 5 times. Use flour but not too much, just enough to lightly dust it. If the pasta gets too long just cut it, keep it manageable. The pasta should be silky smooth when done.

Note that if you're using a rolling pin get ready to put some back bone into it but it is rather doable. The pasta should be approx 1mm – 2mm, depending on what your making.

Now you can proceed to cut it in the appropriate shapes using a cutter or a knife. Stuff with your filling of choice. Then stuff and seal with egg wash. Dust lightly with flour and keep covered with a cloth because the pasta will dry out. Cook in plenty of salted boiling water. You'll know they're done when the stuffed pasta rises to the top.

If you're making tagliatelle or other pasta like linguine dust lightly with flour and leave on a tray till your sauce is ready, then cook your pasta in plenty of salted boiling water. Cooking only takes a few minutes. Alternatively hang to dry the pasta out by hanging on a dowel or broom stick.

Enjoy

Another recipe of pasta dough (pasta dough recipe)

2009-05-13T21:55:00.000+07:00

pasta dough recipe

This is another pasta dough recipe that you should try.

Ingredients

1. 300g ‘00’ pasta flour, plus extra for dusting (from large supermarkets and Italian delis)
2. 1/2 tsp fine salt
3. 2 large, organic eggs, plus 3 large, organic yolks
4. 2 tsp olive oil
5. Semolina or fine cornmeal, for dusting

Method

1. 1. Sift the flour and salt into a mound on a large, clean work surface. Make a well in the centre, making sure the flour ‘walls’ are high. Beat together the eggs, egg yolks and olive oil and pour into the well.
2. 2. Using the fingertips of 1 hand, gradually draw the flour into the egg mixture in a circular motion to start creating a dough. The dough becomes less sticky as it comes together – add a dash of water if it’s a little dry. Using both hands, form into a firm ball and knead for 5 minutes, until smooth. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
3. 3. Quarter the dough and place 1 piece on a surface dusted with semolina (cover the remaining pasta to prevent it drying out). Using a dusted rolling pin, thinly roll out to a large rectangle, moving it often and using plenty of semolina to prevent sticking. Put on a dusted tray while you roll out the rest.
4. 4. Cut the pasta into neat lasagne sheets, or make tagliatelle. To do this, roll up like a Swiss roll, trim the ends neatly and slice at 5mm intervals. Unravel the tagliatelle and toss in more semolina, until ready to cook.

Using a Home Pasta Maker - Great Pasta Recipe (pasta dough recipe)

2009-05-12T15:16:00.000+07:00

pasta dough recipe

Do you love fresh pasta?, then why not use a home pasta dough maker.

You can get them for your home now, from major stores and online, and you will not go back to the dried pasta once you have tried your own fresh homemade pasta, using this pasta recipe:

Pasta Machine Dough

2 cups all purpose flour (about 350 grams) 2 large whole eggs

To prepare the mixture by hand, place the flour on a clean counter top or rolling board and make a well in the center.

Break the eggs into the well and using a fork, beat the eggs, gently drawing in flour from the sides. Continue dragging flour into the center well, stirring the ingredients together until the dough begins to form a mass.

IMPORTANT: If the pasta is too dry or crumbly, spray with a little lukewarm water. When the right texture has been reached, form a ball and leave to rest under an inverted bowl for 10-15 minutes.

If making noodles, roll out the dough using a roller pasta machine, dusting lightly with flour to prevent from sticking. Fold up and roll a second time, or continue to roll each sheet until it becomes smooth.

Once the pasta sheets begin to smooth out, decrease the roller setting by 2 numbers, and then again by 2 numbers, until the sheets are the thickness that you require for the product that you're making.

Use the pasta sheets to make ravioli, lasagna, or roll up the sheet jelly-roll fashion, and slice to desired width to make noodles (or use the cutter attachment of your machine).

You can add color to the dough by adding drops of beet juice (for red), spinach juice (for green), carrot juice for orange/yellow.

Making Pasta is fun, your kids can help, and it tastes fantastic. The manual machines are easy to use and can just attach to your countertop. Get cooking! You will feel like a gourmet chef.

Pasta Dough Recipe

Pasta Dough Recipe. My Friend Jamie said that making pasta dough will never be as cheap as buying the dried stuff but it is a lot of fun and very satisfying to eat a plate that you've created from scratch.

It tastes great too and kids love shaping the pasta!

Ingredients of pasta dough recipe

- 500 g strong white flour
- 3 large free range eggs
- 8 egg yolks

Direction of pasta dough recipe

1. Place the flour on a clean surface.

2. Make a well in the centre and add the eggs and yolks.

3. Use a fork to break up the eggs, then start bringing in the flour.

4. Stir with the fork until you have a dough which is easily workable with your hands.

5. Knead well until it becomes smooth, silky and elastic and the surface is clean.

6. Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for a while.

7. When you are ready to shape the pasta, break the dough into four pieces.

8. Take one ball at a time, flatten it with your hand and run it through the thickest setting on your pasta machine.

9. Fold in half and repeat this several times.

10. Start narrowing down the settings, dusting the dough with flour each time you run it through, stopping when the sheet is 1-2mm thick.

11. You can also use a rolling pin but it will take longer than if you have a pasta machine.

12. When you have a thin sheet, shape as desired.

13. To cook, drop the pasta into boiling water and cook just until al dente-- no more than five minutes and perhaps as little as two minutes, depending on the thickness of the pasta.

14. Store any extra in the fridge for up to half a day or you can dry it and store in airtight containers.
