Pasta a la Mamma

January 17th, 2018 | side dishes

Home-made pasta, there is nothing better. Soft wheat semolina is the magic word. I was in a small shop for Italian food. At checkout the older grumbled something grouchy, (which must be resulting from living in Northern Germany…) owner: “Pasta? You don’t figure it out anyway.” On the question of whether he was this opinion because I’m not Italian, he replied unmoved: “My wife tried for 40 years, so you will not get out even there.” Allora! Per favore!

Pasta a la Mamma

Pasta, it’s really that simple:

Pasta, homemade

500 g soft wheat semolina

5 eggs (room temperature)

process to a smooth dough with your hands and give it through the pasta machine

place fresh pasta on a kitchen towel sprinkled with semolina until you cook them for 2-4 minutes in salted water

or dry the pasta hanging (they can be stored in a lockable plastic box), cooking time for dried pasta is 4-6 minutes

That's how the wife of the Captain does it

I reckon 100 g flour and 1 egg per person, the ideal dough never sticks to the fingers.

With this basic recipe, I prepare all kinds of noodles and dumplings. It’s perfect!

Captain’s cookies for Christmas

Of course, these delicious nougat hazelnut cookies were not always called Captain’s cookies, as one rarely knows as a young child which profession he will take up as an adult. And this preference does exist already as long as this. So to say, recipe and biscuits have also been promoted.
