Last night was my second artisan pasta class with Jenn, the Culinary Arts guru at a local high school and friend from college. Remember the first session when we made Hand-Rolled, Hand-Cut Spinach Papardelle?
Yesterday we made 3 different pasta doughs and laminated them together - basic dough, pink beet dough, and red pepper dough. Jenn jokingly called it a 'Tequila Sunrise' dough when we laminated it all together. So pretty!
On another note: I am blown away by how quickly you can put a dough together with a food processor. I don't have any space in my cabinets for one, but- wow! - I'm impressed.
Basic Pasta Dough
adapted from Making Artisan Pasta (my review of that cookbook here)
Ingredients
- 350 g pasta flour
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 to 3 T tepid water
Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Dough
Ingredients
- 350 g pasta flour
- 2 ounces red pepper puree
- 3 eggs
- 1 T sweet red paprika
Beet Pasta Dough
Ingredients
- 275 g pasta flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 C beet puree
Procedure
After 30 minutes, you're ready to laminate them together. Stay tuned for that recipe post!
The procedure was the same of all of the doughs, so I am only writing it down once.
Place all of the dry ingredients in the body of the food processor. Add the wet ingredients. Pulse until it comes together in a ball. Turn the dough onto a floured cutting board and knead until smooth and elastic, approximately 5 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic and let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
