Homemade pasta
Serves: 6-8
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour + extra
3 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 无毛视频� 3 tablespoons cold water
Place the flour, eggs and salt into a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Slowly drizzle 1 tablespoon water (at a time) through the feed tube, until the flour mixture lumps into a ball, (2 tablespoons usually is enough). As soon as the mixture comes together into a ball, immediately stop adding water and turn off the food processor. Transfer the dough ball onto a lightly dusted, floured work surface and form into a round disk.
Using a bench scrapper, divide dough into 4 equal portions. Tightly cover each with plastic wrap. Allow to rest for 30 minutes 无毛视频� overnight in the refrigerator.
Working with 1 dough portion at a time. Divide the dough again into 3 equal portions. Slightly dust flour onto a work surface. Flatten one piece of the dough (working one piece at a time, covering the remaining with plastic wrap). Place the flatten dough through the feed of the Kitchen Aid pasta roller, Pasta Attachment, at the widest setting #1, with the Kitchen Aid stand mixer on medium speed #4. Fold the dough in half and feed through the feed again. Repeat this step 7-8 times on setting #1, until the dough is smooth. (Note: if the dough is feeling damp, lightly dust with flour while working, so it doesn无毛视频檛 stick to the roller. Repeat this step throughout the entire process, as needed)
Increase the dial to #2, fold the dough in half and feed through, repeat this step twice. Continue feeding through twice on each setting until you reach the narrowest setting, #8.
Lay pasta sheet onto a lightly, flour dusted piece of wax paper, while working with the remaining dough. {Note: this will help the pasta sheets to partially dry out, but do not overlap pasta sheets on top of each other. Do not allow pasta to fully dry out}.
When all of the pasta is rolled out into sheets, change the attachment to the desired pasta cutter. Do not fold the dough. Feed the pasta sheets (one at a time) through the pasta cutter feed on medium speed #4, and place onto a lightly flour dusted wax paper lined, rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the noodles with a little extra flour and gently toss each bundle, shaking off the excess flour, coating each noodle, so they don无毛视频檛 stick together. Spread the pasta out onto the flour dusted, wax paper. Cover with a kitchen towel.
Refrigerate up to 1 day or flash freeze, and gently remove pasta to freezer zipper storage bags and store up to 1 month.
When ready to cook, bring salted water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Add pasta (a generous handful, at a time) and boil until pasta tightens and forms the noodle but tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Repeat more pasta. Toss with your favorite sauce.
