How to How to Make Fresh Pasta Using a Pasta Maker?
Pasta is an Italian favorite that has found its way to the American table. I remember those days when we used to have Spaghetti night. We'd cook up big batches of pasta to make spaghetti. However, if you are tired of cooking that stiff pasta that you usually buy from the grocery store, you can try making your own pasta using your own pasta maker. A pasta maker is one of the most handy kitchen tools there is, and there is no point in letting these contraptions collect dust inside your cabinet. Get your pasta maker out and follow these simple steps on to make fresh pasta: • Take two eggs, one cup of flour and a pinch of salt. Combine all three ingredients until you form a mixture. This is your dough. Knead it. If the dough stays too moist, add flour. The bottom line here is that the dough shouldn't be too dry or too wet. • Pass the dough onto the rollers (or you can just use rolling pins) to flatten the dough. Keep doing this until you get the desired thickness of your pasta sheet. • Run the pasta sheet on your pasta maker. You can use a paper towel to cut the pasta strips, but never use water or else your pasta will stick to the pasta maker. • Collect the pasta strips and hang them to air dry for about an hour. Make sure that when you hang them, you try to separate each strip from one another to avoid the pasta sticking to one another. • Once air dried, you can now cook your pasta. Fresh pasta is best when paired with cream and white sauces. Cooking fresh pasta is easy, too. Just boil it for 10 to 15 minutes until it’s done. Fresh pasta often cooks faster than its dried counterpart. You can put it in white sauce, topped with parmesan cheese, to flavor your pasta. Create a sauce that will compliment your fresh dish. Be creative. Enjoy your pasta meal, and relive those pasta nights that you once enjoyed.
How to Choose a Pasta Maker?
People who love to cook (and to eat!) would be wise to invest in a pasta maker. Though it is fulfilling to make your own pasta from scratch, a pasta maker would make things easier for you; using this gadget would also enable you to make huge amounts of pasta without too much hassle, and without spending hours slaving away in the kitchen. Step 1: There are two kinds of pasta makers – the manual and the electric types. Determine your usage so you can make a smart decision on what type of maker to buy. Step 2: You should focus on makers that are easy to use, especially if you are always pressed for time, or are a first-time user of the gadget. You may want to buy the simpler models which are easier to operate, instead of the more complicated ones. It is very easy to be tempted with the most high- tech gadgets, but ask yourself – do you really need all those features? Step 3: Search the internet for the best brands and models that are available in the market. You can also check forums related to food and/or cooking, as there may be people who are also discussing the pros and cons of certain pasta maker brands. These people are valuable sources of information, as they have first-hand experience of how certain brands and models or pasta makers perform. Step 4: Look for a pasta maker that offers versatility in the form of numerous cutting attachments, which would allow you to make different pasta shapes according to your preference. Step 5: If you would like a manual pasta maker, go for one that can be firmly secured to a countertop or table; you should also look for a model that stays steady while it is being cranked. Step 6: Check the warranty and replacement policies of the pasta maker and all its parts, so that you have something to fall back on if you encounter any problems with the gadget. A pasta maker is a heaven-sent for pasta lovers, and even budding cooks. You can now make fail-proof pasta in the comfort of your own home, even if you are not an experienced chef.
