Make Egg Macaroni Pasta
This fresh macaroni pasta is much tastier than the dry sort and is well worth the effort to make it.
Ingredients
- 175g Tipo 00 (pasta suitable) flour and extra for kneading
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 tbsp fine semolina flour
- 2 tsp sea salt (for cooking)
Steps
- Add the flour and salt together into a processor. Blend on the pulse button to sift.
- Add the egg and egg yolks. Blend on the pulse button until a pasta dough forms. Take the dough out and start kneading it on a floured work area. The Bake Apricot and Semolina Cake flour should be used for dusting.
- Knead the dough briefly until it becomes smooth.
- Wrap the dough in plastic food wrap. Place in the refrigerator for one hour to chill.
- On removal from the chilling, knead for a further 5 minutes. Again, dust with semolina flour. Use the original flour for the actual kneading.
- Cut the dough into small pieces about half a teaspoon in width. Cut as many as possible.
- Using a clean piece of dowel wood as a small rolling pin, roll each small piece of dough into a thin, long strip. Roll this long shape back over the dowel to form a tube. Continue until all shapes are formed.
- Place the tubes on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Lightly dust the tray with more semolina flour.
- Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Add the salt, then the macaroni.
- Cook for 2 - 3 minutes and drain. Add your favorite sauce for serving.
