How to cook Italian - 3 minute pasta making

[zulemars]

I liked this. Can't afford a pasta making machine with how the economy is right now so I loved how to do this with a roller

.

@zulemars It works pretty well too..I've gotten it down quickly and it does impress when you can make pasta for dinner..

like the video, it's cool to compare with how Chef Marc Vetri does it...check out our Pasta Making vid, let us know who's better, Jamie or Marc. Vetri = best chef in Philly

it really does cook quickly. Usually you'd do your sauce and put it aside, then 3-4 minutes for the pasta, and toss.

Couple things: don't use olive oil in the water. Some folks do this to keep pasta from sticking. The oil seals up the pasta and won't let the sauce be absorbed into it.

But the most important rule - lots of salt in the boiling water. My italian friends always say "the water should be as salty as the Mediterranean". Remember, flavor comes from salt or fat.. ;)

Cooks in about 3m not 10m like boxed pasta

[IumSOOOnewJersey]

So do I cook this type of pasta the same way I would cook boxed pasta?

So how much flour was in the bowl?

[Deathatheist]

@disndat11 the normal recipe uses 2 eggs and 2 cups of flour with a pinch of salt. Some people also use a few teaspoons of water to help kneed the dough

holy crap, British egg yolks are orange! Do they taste weird?

[Rachiejane1]

@blogegog Seriously??? The colour of the yolk depends on what the hens have been fed. The darker the better apparently. When they are darker and more orange they are tastier and tend to be Free-Range...

[blogegog]

@Rachiejane1 Did not know that. The only eggs I've ever eaten came from the supermarket and all had yellow yolks. I'm certainly interested in trying one of those orange ones though.

[Rachiejane1]

@blogegog You have never tasted 'proper' eggs until you get them fresh from a farm or free-range

Ok, I have always wanted to make some fresh pasta. I think this video will get me started.

The video would be even better if the cameraman did not move all the time. Can't he stay still? Makes me sea sick this guy.
