How to make Fresh Egg Pasta (Step-by-Step Recipe) + Orecchiette, the easy way
“Life is a combination of magic and pasta.” Federico Fellini
..and I wanted to make some of my own pasta for a really long time, though a box of dried penne, spaghetti or farfalle is a beloved staple in my pantry. I love them so much that every time I watch a food or travel-based show based on Italy, I imagine myself rolling out a sheet of dough and making long pasta ribbons out of it. Such was my craziness! After reading quite a few blog posts on the internet and flipping through Mark Bittman's book - How to Cook Everything Vegetarian cover to cover, last weekend I ventured into the kitchen to make atleast two kinds of fresh pasta. By the end of the day I was super thrilled with the fantastic results. Here I am sharing the first batch of pasta I made - Orecchiette, the easy way. Enjoy!
..the nib of the piping bag used for making orecchiette..
Now, are you all curious about what did I make out this fresh pasta? I tossed it in an amazingly simple pasta sauce from Cynthia's book - Tastes Like Home. That recipe will be posted tomorrow. Stay tuned.
I had made home made ravioli long back and after that I never did it again. It's not all easy without an attachment to roll it out super thin and uniform. You did excellent out here and made it look pretty easy :)
lovely post... never came across such an easy way... will make this soon... thanks siri..
