First cooking class

Today i have hosted the first cooking class in my kitchen.
We made tagliatelle with a Genovese sauce and a special tiramisu' with berries.
It was fun and.......yummy!!!!!!
Following is the recipe to make nice home-made pasta.

TAGLIATELLE

Ingredients:

400 g/3cups FLOUR

4 EGGS

1tsp salt

Place a wide wooden board on the kitchen counter.

Mound the flour on the wooden surface and make a deep well in the center with your hands.

Crack the eggs into the well and add salt.

Mix the eggs with a fork and then start incorporating the flour from the side of the well.

When the egg mixture is no longer liquid start using your hands to incorporate the rest of the flour and to start kneading the dough.

Scrap up any dough that sticks to the wooden surface with a knife and keep kneading

for about 5 minutes,  till the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Cover dough with a ceramic bowl and let it rest.

Meanwhile prepare the pasta machine.

Knead dough again and cut it in small pieces.

Roll each piece in the machine starting with the widest setting, ending with the finest one.

Sprinkle the pasta stripes with flour and cut them in the tagliatelle side of the machine.

Toss the tagliatelle on a floured wooden board to dry.

You can serve tagliatelle with a tomato sauce, ragu' or with butter and parmesan.
