Carrot Noodles
4 medium carrots, sliced (about 1 1/2 cups) 2 eggs 1 tsp. salt about 3 cups all-purpose flour
In 1-quart saucepan over high heat, heat carrots and 1/4 inch water to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until carrots are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
In blender at medium speed, blend carrots, eggs and salt until carrots are pureed. In large bowl with wooden spoon, stir pureed carrots and about 3 cups flour to make a stiff dough. On well-floured surface knead dough until smooth and not sticky, about 20 times. Wrap dough with plastic wrap and let rest 30 minutes for easier rolling. (Or, in food processor with knife blade attached, puree cooked carrots, eggs and salt; add 3 cups flour and blend 10 to 15 seconds to form a smooth ball. Do not knead dough; wrap and let rest 30 minutes.)
Cut dough in half. On floured surface with floured rolling pin, roll one dough half into about 20" by 16" rectangle (dough should be about 1/16 inch thick). Fold dough in half into 10" by 16" rectangle; then fold in half again into 5" by 16' rectangle. With knife, cut folded dough crosswise into 1/4 inch strips for medium noodles, 1/2 inch strips for wide noodles. Unfold strips and place in single layer on clean cloth towels to dry. Repeat with remaining dough. Allow noodles to dry for at least 1 hour before cooking. Makes 1 1/4 pounds.
To cook noodles:
In 6 quart saucepot over high heat, heat 3 quarts water to boiling. Add 1/2 pound noodesl; with fork, gently stir to separate noodles; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium; cook noodles 10 minutes or until tender but firm; drain. Serve with sauce or toss with 3 Tblsp. butter or margarine. Makes six accompaniment servings.

Fresh Pasta Submitted by: Holly
"If you can't find frozen pasta sheets or prefer to make your own, here's a recipe that's virtually foolproof. Herbs and spices compatible with the dish can be kneaded into the dough toward the end. This recipe makes 1 1/2 pounds pasta." Original recipe yield: 6 servings. Servings: = 6 (
INGREDIENTS: . 6 cups all-purpose flour . 6 eggs
DIRECTIONS: 1. Heap the flour, and make a well in it. Break the eggs into the well. Beat eggs with a fork. Stir into the flour from the bottom of the well with the fork until the dough in the center is smooth or shiny. 2. With your hands, gradually incorporate the flour from the outside of the well toward the center, kneading gently until the mass of dough comes together. Knead the dough until it is smooth and resilient. You may need to add more flour, or you may not be able to incorporate all of the flour, depending on the humidity and the size of the eggs. If the dough is sticky or extremely pliable, knead more flour into it. 3. Divide the dough into three portions, cover with plastic wrap or an overturned bowl, and allow to rest for at least 30 minutes. 4. Roll the dough out very thin on a lightly floured surface, one portion at a time. If you have a pasta machine, follow the manufacturer'<WBR>s instructions for rolling out the dough into sheets about 1 millimeter thick. Use as desired.

EASY HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES
1 cup flour
1 egg
1/2 egg shell of milk
Note: this makes a small batch -double the recipe if making a large pot - or
triple if a crowd. The milk makes the noodles so tender they melt in your
mouth.
Place flour in a small bowl, making a dent in the center. Carefully the
crack egg shell- put egg in the center of the flour. Use 1/2 of the egg
shell you just cracked, fill it with milk and stir into the flour and egg
mixture using a fork. Dough needs to be slightly sticky and form a ball, so
if needed, add just a touch more milk until the right consistency.
On a well floured bread board or surface, carefully roll out the dough until
very, very thin (almost paper thin). Dough will be stretchy and very tender.
Using a Pizza cutter, cut the dough into thin noodles -length of your choice
It is okay if the noodles are not perfect and it is not necessary to dry
the noodles.
Slowly sprinkle and stir the cut noodles into rapidly boiling chicken or
beef broth mixture (see below for broth suggestions) it is important to put
the noodles in this way - so they do not stick together in a lump. Turn down
heat and keep broth mixture at a low boil and cook noodles until tender
(approx. 1/2 hour). Stir constantly while adding the noodles and frequently
while cooking to prevent sticking.
Recommendations for broth: Cook cubed chicken or beef in canned broth or
bullion and water (enough to cover everything in the pot) in a large pot
until tender with chopped vegetables of your choice - onions, carrots, and
celery work best, add color and flavor. Add salt, pepper, and parsley for
spice. Cook at a low boil until meat and vegetables are done and meat is
tender. Bring mixture to a high boil before adding noodles.

Homemade Pasta Dough for Ravioli / Fettuccini | | Ingredients | - 3 cups flour (preferably semolina flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs (or use egg beaters for cholesterol free)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (this is a must, many recipes make it optional but trust me you need the olive oil)
- 1/4 cup water
| Preparation | Sift flour and salt in to large bowl; make well in center of flour; add eggs, oil and water. Work liquids into flour with a large serving fork to start the dough. When the dough becomes stringy and many small separate pieces turnout onto a floured surface and knead dough for 8-10 minutes or until dough is soft, velvety and smooth. During those 8-10 minutes if the dough gets tacky just put a dusting of flour on it and if it becomes dry and cracked dampen your hands with warm water and continue kneading. There is no exact science to making pasta dough. Room temperature, water hardness and several factors contribute to the difference in pasta dough when made in different places but with the same recipe. Cover with DAMP towel and let dough rest 15 to 20 minutes. If you are using small portions of the dough at a time cut off what you need and place the rest back in the bowl and under a damp towel or paper towel. If you leave the dough out the entire time you are making your pasta it will dry and make lousy pasta. This recipe will yield enough dough for 7 dozen ravioli and 3 pounds of pasta. Buon Appetito ! Makes 7 dozen ravioli. | | |
