LAS SENDAS CHEF SHARES PASTA SECRETS
In celebration of National Noodle Month, Las Sendas Executive Chef Josh Nylin is sharing his homemade fresh pasta dough recipe.
“Did you know it is estimated that Italians eat more than 60 pounds of pasta per person, per year, easily beating Americans who eat about 20 pounds per person,” Josh stated. “This love of pasta in Italy far exceeds the production of the country. Therefore, Italy must import most of the wheat it uses for pasta.”
Today, pasta is made using mass-production methods to fill the huge worldwide demand, and while pasta is made everywhere, the product made in Italy keeps to time-tested production methods that create superior pasta.
“All pasta starts out as fresh pasta, but some is made to be eaten soft,” Josh explained. “Fresh pasta can be made with slightly different ingredients than the dried variety. Many northern regions of Italy use all-purpose flour and eggs, while in Southern Italy, it usually is made from semolina and water, but it depends upon the recipe.”
Homemade Pasta Dough
Yield: 4 pounds
- 18 egg yolks
- 8 whole eggs
- 1 kilogram (2 lbs, 3.24 ozs) all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
Add the flour to a bowl, make a well in the center, and add the egg yolks and eggs to the well. Start beating the eggs with a fork, slowly incorporating the flour until the dough becomes a wet ball. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead the dough until it comes together. Wrap and refrigerate. Roll out the pasta dough using a pasta roller.
