Easy Homemade Egg Fettuccine
When some people hear of homemade pasta, they envision expensive pasta machines and spending hours in the kitchen covered in flour. That couldn't be further from the truth.
Fact is, pasta machines are very inexpensive and the pasta only takes about 30 minutes to make from start to finish.
Is there really a difference in store bought and homemade? Absolutely! Fresh pasta takes much less time to cook than store bought (just a few minutes), has a nicer texture and flavor and absorbs more sauce. Just be sure to keep an eye on it while cooking and strain as soon as pasta is "al dente" or still has a bit of a bite. No one likes mushy pasta!
Ingredients
Large 18-cm Stainless Steel Pasta Machine
2 cups all purpose flour
3 eggs
1 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
water
How to Make
Pour flour in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the middle. Add eggs, olive oil and salt in the well. Using a fork, begin beating egg mixture; incorporating flour a little at a time. Once flour becomes to stiff to manage with fork, begin using your hands to knead the dough.
If dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. If it's too dry, add another egg or a bit of water. Continue to knead until it becomes a well formed elastic dough.
Cut finished dough into parts and flatten each section. Run dough section through the widest setting of your pasta machine once, fold into thirds and run through once more. Adjust machine to a thinner setting and run through again. Continue this process with dough sections, adjusting setting on machine each time until you reach the desired thickness. Make sure that strips of dough sheets are well floured.
Once you have finished making long flat strips of pasta dough, change setting on machine to fettuccine (the wide toothed channel) and run through. Place finished noodles on a large baking sheet and toss with flour to prevent sticking.
When your ready to cook; grab handfuls of noodles, shake excess flour off and drop into boiling water. When noodles are cooked, strain and serve with your favorite spaghetti sauce.
