  • Join @jacquesinthegarden and I as we disgrace Italians everywhere and attempt to make our own pasta! The only thing not homegrown in this entire dish is the flo ur, and if we had a better grinder we could have used the flour we grew last season!

  • @k9spot1
    @k9spot1 Před rokem +23

    I’m not Italian or anything but if you finish the pasta in the sauce it’s incredible. Just throw the pasta and a bit of that salty pasta water and maybe some parmesan cheese all in a pan together and mix it real hard. The starch in the pasta water and the olive oil will emulsify and make it come together into a rich creamy sauce in no time. Really ups the flavor quota even if you use prego or something. For my homemade sauces I always make them a little extra concentrated for this reason.

    Great job guys! A couple tips: Be sure to keep the unrolled dough ball covered at all times to prevent drying out. Also, I would roll out and cut your whole dough ball and just toss the extra in the freezer. I lay the noodles on a sheet tray and freeze them for one hour and them move them into a container. Take them straight from the freezer and put them into boiling water. Nothing better than fresh pasta!

  • @miratroutner4356
    @miratroutner4356 Před rokem +27

    Seeing the sauce you made reminded me of the pasta sauce I'd make for kids as a nanny! I'd start with whatever tomatoes the family had, so sometimes fresh, sometimes canned, usually a mix, then in go some roughly chopped carrot, onion, garlic, and bell peppers (orange or red, not green because it would turn the sauce brown when blended) simmer to get rid of some of the liquid and add in your spices, then you blend it till smooth, and the kids would never eat bell pepper raw or even in a stir fry, but in that sauce they couldnt get enough theyd even just scoop it up with a spoon and eat it by itself almost like a savory apple sauce lol

    My wife is from Northern Italy and we make a pasta dish I have not found anywhere else. We call it "Lasanione." The pasta is made in a similar fashion as you used; but we roll it out into an oval shape about the thickness of a flat noodle. On top sprinkle a little nutmeg. Then spread cooked spinach over it. We also make a homemade meat sauce and spread that over it and over it all with mozzarella cheese. Roll it into a strudel-like shape and wrap/tie it up in a cheese cloth. Boil in salt water for about 45 minutes; slice; place in plate; cover with meat sauce and serve.

    Totally with you on the homemade pasta. I started making it about a year ago - basic recipe of 100 grams of flour to one egg - and it is so easy and totally addictive. I'm generally sceptical of the whole 'countertop appliance' mania, but a stand mixer is very much worth it if you love pasta (or bread), and the pasta attachments are expensive but worth it.
    The recipe I follow is boiling for two minutes boiling, followed by another couple of minutes sautéing in a non-stick pan with some olive oil & garlic. I usually finish it with just salt, pepper, & good parmesan. It's....amazing. For years I've read that quality Italian dried pasta is 'as good as homemade'. It's just not true. I'm curious now to try a version with higher egg content.
    Pizza?? Totally recommend Kenji's cast iron pan method. I use my usual bread dough recipe for the crust, but the way he uses the cast iron pan seems to result in a 'home style' type of pizza that is consistently foolproof and delicious. I always have right-sized balls of pizza dough in the freezer now, for use on short notice.
    Another recent addiction is 'microwave oven potato chips'. It sounds ridiculous (and maybe disgusting?), but it actually works. YT has many videos, all with basically the same process. Set aside 15 minutes one day and try it. 🙂

    Fresh pasta is a great use of fresh eggs. 1 tip though, don't poor the pasta into the strainer. If you do, all the raw mushy flour that was coating the pasta will now be on top of it. Use a small strainer with a handle to scoop it out of the water.

    I had a Nona († 1993). En garde.
    OO flour can be replaces with pastry or AP flour.
    Bread flour has too much gluten use semolina and water, no eggs. If you can't find semolina, then use bread flour with water.
    Thou shalt not use salt in pasta. It slows the development of gluten.
    When kneading you need to stretch the dough to lengthen and strengthen the gluten but not to the point of tearing.
    If you want to use a high gluten flour use semolina and water, with no eggs.
    Let the dough rest on the counter. Cover it with a slightly damp towel, not plastic or aluminum unless all you have are paper towels.
