🍝 Recipe: Fresh Pasta Dough
Makes 3-4 servings
Ingredients:
2 cups flour, plus extra for dusting
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Mound the flour on a work surface. Make a well in the center, and crack the eggs into the well. Sprinkle the salt over the eggs and pour in the olive oil.
Use a fork to combine the eggs, salt, and oil, then slowly incorporate the flour into the eggs.
When the flour is completely incorporated, use your hands to gather the dough into a ball. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Divide into two pieces, then allow to rest for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough and cut into desired pasta shapes.
Cook in a large pot of well-salted boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain but do not rinse. Serve hot with your favorite sauce.
🍅 Recipe: Marinara Sauce
Makes about 3 cups
Ingredients:
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
28-ounce can of whole, peeled tomatoes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon each dried basil, oregano, rosemary
Instructions:
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Once hot, add onion and cook until soft.
Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about a minute.
Add tomatoes and salt. Simmer sauce on medium-low, covered, to let the flavors blend. Use a potato masher for a chunky sauce or an immersion blender for a smooth sauce.
Stir in the herbs and serve hot over pasta.
