its after exams now..so decided to do something really different..make my own pasta!!! it was really easy and im super happy at the way the whole thing worked out :p
ok heres the recipe
For pasta dough:
2 eggs
1 cup plain flour
Steps:
1. Sift the flour onto a clean surface.
2. Make a well in the center and crack the eggs into the well.
3. Knead for about 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic
4. Cover the dough for about 20 minutes, and work on the filling in the meanwhile.
Filling:
Minced chicken ( i dont even know how much i used just agar-agar :p)
A sprinkle of pepper
A sprinkle of rosemary
Small cubes of mozzarella cheese
Steps: Just mix it all together
Tomato sauce:
2 medium sized tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1/2 carrot
chicken stock
thyme
1/2 lemon
Steps:
1. To peel the tomato easily, slit a cross on the underside of the tomato and let it boil for abt 5 minutes. Remove from the water and the skin should come off easily.
2. Chop the carrots and the tomatoes finely
3. Heat abit of olive oil in a pot, add in the carrots and tomates. Fry for a while.
4. Add in the chicken stock and boil. Add in thyme and lemon juice. Cover the pot and let the sauce simmer for about half and hour.
To make the ravioli,
1. Roll out the dough to desired thickness on a lightly floured surface.
2. Cut out squares and place filling in the middle of the square. Top with another square and mush the 2 pasta pieces together.
3. Either boil the raviolis in water, or can bake it in the sauce
Finally, serve it with some broccoli. voila and bon appetite!
