Le plaisir de cuisiner - Les pâtes: CE - Pasta - FRE

Product Information

Use a sharp chef's knife to cut it into strips. Immediately unfold and untangle the sheets and swish in more semolina while you cut the rest. Or simply feed the pasta sheets through one of the cutting attachments on the machine. Asparagus is a real treat and its delicate flavour goes perfectly in this fab frittata (top picture). This also makes a luscious lunchbox filler. Reheating- if you must, then heat for 1-2 minutes in a pan or microwave, then stir in a new egg mixture, or some cream cheese. 💡Pro Tips

Using the tips of your fingers, mix the eggs with the flour, incorporating a little at a time, until everything is combined. That Christmas, I was eating a box of chocolates and instead of enjoying them, I felt miserable. ‘That’s it,’ I said to myself. ‘Enough is enough.’ I knew I had one chance at life – and at singing success – and I wanted to give both my best shot. Storing - we prefer eating carbonara using egg freshly cooked, but it can be cooled to room temperature, then stored in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days. Wrap the dough in clingfilm and put it in the fridge to rest for at least 30 minutes – make sure the clingfilm covers it well or it will dry out and go crusty round the edges (this will give you crusty lumps through your pasta when you roll it out, and nobody likes crusty lumps!).

Sharing is Caring

Once you’ve made your dough you need to knead and work it with your hands to develop the gluten in the flour, otherwise your pasta will be flabby and soft when you cook it, instead of springy and al dente. There’s no secret to kneading. You just have to bash the dough about a bit with your hands, squashing it into the table, reshaping it, pulling it, stretching it, squashing it again. It’s quite hard work, and after a few minutes it’s easy to see why the average Italian grandmother has arms like Frank Bruno! You’ll know when to stop – it’s when your pasta starts to feel smooth and silky instead of rough and floury. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Cloves of garlic - (minced) a good source of antioxidants and gives the dish a more complex flavour Pile the flour onto a clean wooden board. Use your fingers to make a well in the flour, then pour the water in slowly. Start by adding 190ml, then adding the rest later, if you need to. Now it's time to roll the dough out properly, working it through all the settings on the machine, from the widest down to around the narrowest. Lightly dust both sides of the pasta with a little flour every time you run it through.

Fresh beetroot lends its amazing colour and distinctive flavour to this seriously satisfying roasted beetroot risotto. Try filling with a mix of leaf spinach and ricotta cheese (note: you can substitute the Ricotta with Feta, or fresh Curd Cheese) and bake in tomato sauce or in a meaty Bolognese sauce. For a fishy alternative stuff with a mix of smoked fish (or poached salmon) mixed with just a little mashed potato,a beaten egg, chopped parsley and seasoning, place in an oven proof dish, and smother with a tomato sauce before baking. Pass the dough through the pasta machine rollers, decreasing the setting grade by grade to the desired setting (either the penultimate or final setting, depending on your preference). If the sheet of pasta becomes too long to handle easily, cut it in half. Ideally, by the end you should be able to see your fingers through the pasta. (You can roll pasta by hand with a rolling pin, but it will certainly give you a workout!)
