Precooked homemade pasta

Precooked homemade pasta

We wanted to use the pasta the next day, so we precooked the noodles, drained them, spread them on a baking sheet and mix them with oil. This allows the steam to escape quickly and the pasta stay firm to bite. While reheating in the sauce the pasta absorb the sauce and get more flavour. For me this is a very good way to prepare the pasta ahead without drying them.

Directions

Place water, oil, flour and salt in mixer bowl. Attach bowl and flat beater. Turn to speed 2 and mix until crumbly. To test for correct dough consistency, pinch a small amount of dough together afer mixing with the flat beater. If the dough stays together without sticking your fingers, it should work well. Remove dough from bowl and knead by hand for 1 or 2 minutes.

Divide dough into 5 pieces before processing with the roller attachment. Roll out pasta and cut into tagliatelle.

Cook pasta in salted water for 3 minutes – they are very firm to bite – drain. Divide on a baking sheet mix with olive oil and let cool completely. Give in a closable container and keep in the fridge up to two days.

For using remove pasta from container and reheat in the sauce or stock.

Directions

1. Start with the pasta – you can make this in the processor, but the texture is better if you make it by hand. With a processor, pulse the ingredients together until they form a ball. By hand, mix the flours in a bowl, then make a hole in the centre, break in the eggs and add the tomato puree. Whisk the egg and tomato together with a fork, drawing in the flour. When the mixture starts to get too thick to continue, use your hands. The dough should be soft, but not sticky – add a little flour if necessary. Knead the dough briefly to smooth out, then roll into a ball and wrap in cling film. Leave to rest at room temperature for 20-30 mins while you make the sauce.

2. Chop the garlic, then cut the bacon into strips. Fry both in the oil until the garlic is golden. Tie the herbs into a bundle with string. Put them into the pan with the tomatoes, ketchup and seasoning, then simmer gently for 20-30 mins.

3. Put a large pan of salted water on to boil. Dust the work surface and a rolling pin with flour. Divide the dough into 3 pieces, wrap 2 in cling film, then roll out the third piece thinly, dusting regularly with flour. Roll it up loosely and cut into wide strips (2.5 cm or larger if you prefer) with a sharp knife. Lay on a floured tray then repeat with the remaining dough.

4. Drop the pasta (shaking off flour first) into the boiling water and cook for about 2 mins until just cooked through. Drain, then serve with the tomato sauce and parmesan on top.
