Here is my recipe from yesterday’s National Spaghetti Day dish!
Feel free to used pre-made pasta if you’re short on time, but I LOVE fresh pasta!
Ingredients:
- 600g of 00 Flour
- 6 Eggs
- Salt (for water)
Directions
- pour flour into a mixing bowl
- Create a divot in the flour and crack your eggs into it
- push the flour into the eggs a bit at a time
- Knead until it takes on a silky sheen
- Wrap with plastic wrap and let rest in the fridge for at least 30 mins
- Get a pot of salted water boiling
- Roll out with either a rolling pin or a pasta roller (I have an attachment for my mixer which is so great!)
- When at desired thickness either slice evenly with a sharp knife, or throw on the pasta slicer attachment and throw it through!
- Throw pasta in boiling water for about 5 mins or to desired state of al dente
Spring Peas and Bacon Pasta
Ingredients:
- Pasta
- 4 slices Bacon
- 1 cup of Peas (Fresh or Frozen) If frozen run them under some cold water 1st and strain them to try to get some water out)
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1tsp red pepper flakes
- 1tsp herbs de provence (or you can just throw in a little thyme, rosemary, basil, savory, fennel
- cracked black pepper to taste
Directions:
- In a frying pan, fry up the bacon
- You can pour out some of the fat after if you want… I leave it in because FAT IS FLAVOUR!) add minced garlic and fry until softened
- Add peas until heated through
- Add olive oil, herbs and red pepper flakes and throw pasta on top
- Add cracked black pepper to taste
- Toss to coat and warm
- Feel free to top with parmesan cheese
- ENJOY!!
I’ve never tried to actually make pasta before. (I’m a terrible cook, so I can wreck store-bought pasta nine out of ten times). BUT, I’m going to be brave and try this. Wish me luck. Favoriting this post!
