Shoot, missed it on the carbonara, but I'd still face-plant right into that spaghetty pie! Nice!
OK, more prep pics-
I dunno why, but that tendon-thingy in chicken breast tenders grosses me out, so I get rid of it. Work a fork under the end and loosen it from the meat. Firmly pinch the tendon and work the fork down the tendon to remove it from the meat. Feed it to the dog or cat, they'll enjoy the treat!
Gently pound the chicken breast or tenders to flatten. Dredge in seasoned flour, and pan fry in olive oil until crispy and brown.
The Sauce!
1/2 cup butter
spash of EVOO
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp chicken soup base
2 tsp capers
few grinds black pepper (sorry, geeme)
couple shakes of your favorite chile pepper powder (I used Volcanic Peppers' Aji Pepper Blend)
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4c parmesan cheese
Saute your favorite mix of fresh veggies in-
2Tbsp EVOO
1 tsp garlic
dash seasoning salt
top with a sprinkle of parm when plated
Pasta cooking in a pot- (-yawn-)

Salsalady's Pasta Caper
Fresh Pasta
5 oz (by weight) semolina flour
5 oz (by weight) all purpose flour
2 whole eggs plus 4 egg yolks
1 tsp sea salt
Chile pepper powder if desired (I used some Volcanic Peppers Aji Pepper Blend in half the dough)
Mix eggs into dry ingredients by hand, in a food processor, or use a stand mixer. I used a stand mixer, then finished kneading the dough by hand. Wrap in plastic wrap and let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes or more.
Divide dough into quarters. Flatten one piece and start to run it through pasta rollers on the widest setting. Fold dough onto itself in 3rds and run through rollers again. Repeat 3 times on widest roller setting and 3 more times on next smaller setting. From there, continue running the dough through the rollers a couple times on each smaller setting. When the dough is at the desired thickness, swap out the flat roller attachment for the cutter attachment and make some noodles!
Cook fresh pasta in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. It will cook very fast compared to dry pasta. Drain and serve immediately.

Spaghetti Pie and Mushroom Ravioli
Pasta recipe
95 grams of flour (60g 00 flour/35g semolina flour)
1 egg
pinch of salt
JHP Chocolate Lava powder to taste
This recipe just gets scaled out depending on the amount of pasta you will need. I doubled it today and used the same dough for both the spaghetti and ravioli. All of the dry ingredients get combined and then a well is formed. The eggs are put int the well and the flour mixture is gradually incorporated into the egg. Knead for about 5 or 6 minutes then cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. Shape into the pasta shapes you want.
Spaghetti Pie Recipe
1/2 lb cooked spaghetti
1 tbspn lard(I used reserved bacon fat)
6 eggs
1/3 cup grated cheese
cubed meat prosciutto, soppressata, pepperoni etc (I used soppressata)
JHP Smoked Thai powder
Juanitos crushed Chocolate Superhot
Black pepper
Cook Pasta, strain and then mix in the lard. Let the pasta cool. Scramble the eggs and add smoked thai and black pepper. Mix the cooled spaghetti and the egg mixture well. Then mix in the grated cheese and meat. Transfer to a cast iron skillet and sprinkle the top with crushed pepper flakes. Bake in a 350f oven for 45-50 minutes.
Mushroom Ravioli
Ravioli Filling
1/2 Medium shallot
85g Mushrooms (your choice)
1 Garlic clove
Fresh Italian flat leaf parsley (to taste)
Fresh chives (to taste)
Nutmeg (pinch)
Lemon zest (pinch)
Parmesan cheese (to taste)
Whipping cream (dash to bind)
Olive oil
JHP Chocolate Lava powder
Salt & pepper
Saute shallot, mushrooms and garlic until all of the water from the mushrooms evaporates. In a bowl combine mushroom mixture with all of the other ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate until needed.
MUSHROOM SAUCE
1/2 Medium shallot
3 Mushrooms (your choice)
1/2 Garlic clove
1 Cup vegetable stock
Fresh chives (to taste)
1/4 cup Whipping cream
Fresh basil (to taste)
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
Saute shallot, mushrooms and garlic for about 5 minutes. Add vegetable stock and cook until stock is reduced by half. Add chives and cream and cook until desired consistency. Add basil and serve over the ravioli. The ravioli are cooked in 3-4 minus in boiling water.
I really didn't taste the heat in the pasta, I guess i did not use enough powder…..but I used a bit too much in the ravioli mixture and there was a nice burn while eating the ravioli.
First time making mushroom ravioli and it will be made again with some minor adjustments. The spaghetti pie is an old favorite and was added when the Boss added an extra plate.
Mangia!!
SL that is killer. Beautiful colors on that plate and nice touch on the pat of butter. Very nice job!
