Tools needed:
Pasta Machine
Mixing Bowl
Fork
Measuring Jug
Ingredients:
2 cups All-purpose
flour
1 pinch Salt
4 large Egg yolks
Instructions for Fresh Angel Hair Pasta
Mix the flour and salt in a mixing bowl and make a well in the center.
Put the egg yolks in the middle well.
With a fork, break the yolks and gradually add the flour into the mixture
as you keep mixing
Try and work from the center outward, to form a smooth, firm but still
pliable dough.
(If you like, you
could also combine the ingredients in a food processor with the metal
blade.)
Gather the dough into a ball, then flatten it to a thickness of about
l/2 inch. Set the rollers of a hand-cranked pasta machine at their widest
setting
Lightly dust the dough with additional flour on both sides and crank it
through the machine.
Fold both ends of the dough toward each other, overlapping them.
Rotate the dough 90 degrees, dust with flour again, and crank it through
once more.
Continue until the
dough is smooth and firm.
Decrease the roller width by one setting and pass the dough through again.
Continue, rolling the dough thinner and thinner, until the rollers are
only about 01/8 inch apart
Pass the sheet of dough through an angel hair pasta cutter, cutting them
into thin strands.
Lightly toss the angel hair with a little flour to keep the strands separate.
Cooking Instructions
To cook the pasta, bring 8 quarts of lightly salted water to a boil in
a large pot.
Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to the water, this will help them to stay
seperate and give some added taste.
Put the angel hair pasta in a sieve and lower it into the water, stirring
with a spoon to keep the strands separate.
Boil until cooked but still slightly chewy
This should be approx 2 minutes for freshly made angel pasta.
I like to add a plain tomato and basil sauce, with fresh green basil grown
on the windowsill or the garden greenhouse.
