How To Make Pasta | Homemade Pasta Recipe | How To Make Fresh Pasta |

  If you're having a busy week, here's something that will make those weeknight meals a lot easier for you! The best part about this recipe, is that it's fast, fresh, and relatively easy on a budget! In this recipe, I'm going to teach you how to make fresh pasta from scratch, using simple ingredients. Let's get into it!

Here's what you'll need:

                     3 & 1/3 Cups Semolina Flour
                     4 Large Eggs
                     2 Tbsp Water
                     1 Tbsp Olive Oil
                     1 Tsp Salt

Although, you may choose to make this by hand, I used my trusty mixer to speed things along, just a bit. First, add the eggs and, flour to the mixer bowl, then, pour in the water, add the salt, and the oil.
Next, you'll want to start kneading this, if by hand. If using a mixer, you'll want to choose speed setting number one, to start with. As the mixture starts forming a homogeneous dough ball, it is at this time, that you may adjust the speed to a faster setting to speed things along.

Once the dough begins clumping, it's time to dump the contents of your mixing bowl onto your work surface, and begin kneading by hand. Here's a pro tip: you're looking to get a smooth, pliable, ball of dough without any coarse pieces breaking apart. I generally, knead pasta dough for a good ten minutes or, until smooth. After the kneading process is finished, you'll need to set it aside to rest for twenty, to thirty minutes before dividing it in fourths, to pass it through the pasta extension to roll the dough into sheets before cutting.

Once, the pasta sheets are rolled out, and the sheets are cut, you may boil them for a minute, to a minute and thirty seconds for al dente pasta.
Storing is easy. The pasta may be bagged and, stored in the freezer for up to one month. You can also boil it directly from frozen. No need to thaw before cooking.

The pasta can also be left out to dry, if using a pasta drying rack, then stored in a container for up to six months, to a year.

Please use this video for reference in mastering the various techniques to help further your knowledge and, expertise in pasta making.

I hope you've enjoyed this recipe, for making pasta from scratch. You'll be enjoying many more bowls of goodness, while pairing it with your favorite sauces. Generally speaking, one may think of pasta, much like a painter, thinks of canvas as the basis for his, or her masterpiece.

  If you've ever been to a Middle-Eastern, or Mediterranean Restaurant, you might have seen this dish as part of a wide variety of mezze, or appetizer platters on the table. Cig Kofte or, Chikufta, is a raw meatball dish in Armenian, and Middle-Eastern cuisine, very similar to Kibbeh Nayeh, and to a lesser extent to Steak Tartare. It is traditionally made with either beef or lamb, a vegetarian variety may also be served. Ciğ Köfte may be served as an appetizer, or mezze. In the beef variant, ground beef is used. Tendons and fat are removed before grinding the beef. Relatively expensive high-quality beef has to be used so that the meat can be safely served raw. London Broil, or Top Round, are are recommended choices for the ground beef. Since lamb is considered a "clean meat", it is often used for Ciğ Köfte instead of beef. Armenians  use Ciğ Köfte as a mezze, served almost cold. The raw meat ball, or Kofte, is not kept overnight and is reserved for special occ...
