FILOMENA'S PASTA FRESCA
The women in my family would gather in my grandmothers kitchen to make tons of pasta. From my great-grandmother Filomena to my grandmother Esther, mother Florence, aunts Lillian, Rita and Nancy, cousins, and myself, Linda, we made pasta for all of us and this is the recipe my great-grandmother used only I have scaled it down from 50 pounds of flour to a few cups and instead of elbow grease I use my Cuisinart and my Kitchenaid. It is so simple to make that I make it every week and freeze the pasta. I tried to break down the directions into easy steps. This really is an easy recipe but I think it can be daunting if you have never made pasta before. I have been making it for 50 years, since I was a little girl. Back in those days we rolled the pasta out with my great-grandmothers huge rolling pin and cut the pasta with either a knife or a little machine. The new fangled way is faster and better.

Steps:
- Put the flour into the food processor and pulse five or six times.
- Add the eggs and pulse five or six times.
- Scrape the processor bowl and whiz the dough until it comes together. The dough should look crumbly and a little dry. Dry dough will work up faster and taste better with a wonderful texture. If dough won't hold it's shape after you squeeze it in your hand you can add a few drops of water until the consistency is good. On the other hand, you can add a few teaspoons of flour if the dough is too wet.
- Dump into a large zip lock baggie and press the dough together to form into a log.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to relax the gluten.
- Cut the log into eight slices and working with one piece at a time run each through your pasta kneader (setting #1) four or five times, folding over the ends each time to try to keep it somewhat square and uniform. The kneaded dough should be very smooth and luxurious feeling with no graininess or roughness. I will post pictures in a few days. Keep everything heavily floured.
- After you have all of your dough rolled on setting #1 proceed to roll the pieces to your desired thickness, starting on setting #2 and going up one or two settings at a time. I like them rolled to number 6 on my Kitchenaid Pasta attachement and number 7 on my Atlas Pasta maker. Keep the pasta floured to avoid sticking.
- Choose either fettucine (my fave) or spaghetti cutters and run the strips through the cutter making sure to keep them well floured and keep your work surface floured very well. Make sure the strands are all separated. In this case there is no such thing as too much flour.
- Let the pasta dry for a few minutes and separate into four servings.
- To eat right away, boil a large pot of water with a tablespoon of olive oil and two or three tablespoons of kosher salt. Check the pasta after one minute and continue checking until it is done to your liking. Most pastas are al dente in under three minutes. Drain, sauce and serve.
- TO STORE: Curl the pasta into little nests and freeze in small containers to avoid crushing and sticking together. Remember, you can't use too much flour.
- HINTS: 3/4 cups of flour and one large egg would equal one portion. Don't add salt to your dough to keep it very tender. Don't add oil to your dough or it will be more difficult to roll. Adding salt to the boiling water is important. To avoid boil-overs add the oil and salt to the water before you put the pot on the stove. Simple sauces are best with fresh pasta. I will post variations soon.

This is such a yummy, spicy dinner! Sometimes, if I'm in a hurry, I will use a large can of diced tomatoes instead of chopping up the fresh. You could also add some chicken to this dish if you would like.

LINDA'S SPINACH PASTA FRESCA
Spinach fettucine made quick and easy This is a great pasta on it's own or mixed with any of my other Pasta Fresca recipes which I have submitted to this site. If you decide to mix the pastas you should cook them separately since the cooking times will all be a little different for each batch. I hope you try this - Just make sure you use chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeeze the spinach very dry and chop it very fine.

LINDA'S SUN-DRIED TOMATO PASTA FRESCA
This is a variation on my Pasta Fresca recipe I came up with when I had dried a ton of Roma tomatoes in my food dehydrator. It is very pretty to look at and goes well with light sauces so it is economical as well. It is a little more difficult to roll out than the Pasta Fresca egg noodles but worth the extra effort. Serve simply with olive oil, butter, minced garlic, kosher salt and cracked black pepper and lots of fresh basil and flat leaf parsley. Pass the parmesan!

Steps:
- Put flour and sun dried tomatoes into your food processor and whiz for about 30 seconds. Check the size of the tomatoes since they should be pulverized. Whiz another 30 seconds if you need to.
- Add the eggs and pulse a few times, scrape down the bowl, and whiz until the pasta starts coming together.
- If the pasta dough is too crumbly to hold together when you squeeze it in your hand you should add another egg yolk and whiz some more.
- Just as in the pasta fresca recipe you should dump everything into a zip lock bag and press together to form a log.
- Store in the fridge for 30 minutes to relax the gluten.
- Cut the log into 8 discs.
- With your pasta machine or mixer attachment knead the discs 4 or 5 times until they are smooth and satiny. Flour is your friend so make sure you use lots of it when rolling and cutting pasta!
- When all are kneaded, roll them to the desired thickness one setting at a time. On my Kitchen Aid I roll to #6 and on my Atlas I roll to #7.
- Attach your fettuccine cutter and cut strips flouring like mad so they don't stick. Spaghetti and other cuts do not work as well as fettuccine cutters.
- Let dry while you boil a large pot of salted water with a tablespoon of olive oil in it and make the simple sauce described above.
- Remember, fresh pasta cooks lots faster than dried pasta from a box. Check fettuccine after 2 minutes and keep checking until the desired tenderness is reached.
- To freeze pasta fresca, separate into four portions and loop them into little nests. Freeze in small containers so they are not crushed and don't stick together.
- In my pasta fresca recipe I neglected to say that I stir my frozen pasta with either a chopstick or the handle of a wooden spoon. This works better than spoons and the many pasta ladles on the market.
- I hope you enjoy this recipe.
