My First Noodle Venture submission :)
 
I forgot to add the money and didn't remember till after I got started so I took another picture with the money in their, Sorry, memory not what it used to be  :(
 
So this is the first time I made noodles so it was great to have an excuse to learn.
 
-Buckwheat Noodles base mix is;
3/4cup Buckwheat and 1/4cup Potato starch, pinch of salt and 1tbsp Seasoning mix 1 egg, 4 tbsp water. Blitz.  First batch
 
-Buckwheat Noodle mix  2
1.5 cups Buckwheat, .5 cups Potato Starch, 1sp salt, 1 tbsp Dried Arbol Chile, 1tbsp Dried Guajillo Chile, 2tbsp Dried Tomato,3 eggs, 2 cups fresh Thai Basil, 2tbsp water. Blitz
I mixed the eggs and dried tomato and peppers first to hydrate them.
 
The Appetizer I cooked up the noodles in chicken stock with Maitake mushrooms and Yellow Habanero with a side of Buckwheat sourdough (made the day before) with a Tomato and Chile paste spread (made also the day before).
The Main course I cooked in water with mushrooms, then used the left over liquid as a sauce with smoked cheddar mixed in, topped with Brisling Sardines with dabs of Tomato Chile paste.
 
I used the Blendetec and found the 1cup batches are better, the dough feels like Plasticine, the 2cup batch has a bit tight and overheated the machine, also could have used a bit more liquid so I finished it of my hand but did not have the same feel as the first batch.
 
I don't have a Kitchen/Dining table so its a bit messy, looking for some nice plates for presentation etc :)

Tris of strozzapreti plated in bread
Or a strozzapreti bruschetta.
 
Make bread or use a good one.
I made some bread mixing (and not kneading) the following, just to experiment
  • 600g manitoba
  • 450g water
  • 12g salt
  • 12g evo
  • 1,2g beer yeast
After 8 hours i folded dough some times.
After other 12 hours i made dough pieces. And waited an hour and half for the one i used here then cooked.
Baked for 55 mins at 220°C
Good bread, not my best (hulled flour and higher hydro plus fridge ftw), the good thing is that it's quite effortless to make.
 

 
Green dough
  • 180g 00 flour
  • 90g cooked spinachs
  • 30g water + a bit more if needed
  • a third of teaspoon of salt
Blend spinachs (see previous post) with water and 30g of flour.
Then use that to knead remaining flour adding salt.
Knead well till smooth, use a bit water if needed.
Leave it for 1,5-2hours
 
Red dough
  • 200g flour
  • 70g boiled red turnip
  • 45g water + a bit more if needed
  • a third of teaspoon of salt
Mash red turnip (see previous post) add water, salt and flour (not all at once) and knead well till smooth.
Leave it for 1,5-2hours
 
Yellow dough
  • 200g flour
  • 100g water + a bit more if needed
  • 1 teaspoon or turmeric full tot he brim
  • a third of teaspoon of salt
Just knead all till smooth.
Leave it for 1,5-2hours
 
Build butter

Heat butter with sage leaves. when it's well melt put hot pepper. Turn off before boiling.
I used 24 small leaves, 6 piri piri, 100g butter.
Make strozzapreti

Roll some dough, cut like gnocchi, roll to stretch them and give form rolling on hands.
Then stretch them a bit to make them rougher.

[SIZE=medium]Pasta Carbonara[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=medium]I had little to no time to cook this because I have to work late night. So it's not pretty. But the essentials are here. Home made pasta. The idea is to incorporate as many egg yolks as possible without changing the texture I think. I used 9 egg yolks and a cup of flour plus salt and a little olive oil to make dough. Hand knead the dough for ten minutes. Then  I let the dough rest for 30 minutes and cut up with kitchen scissors. I then tried to twist them by moistening my hands. I was in a hurry and didn't do it properly. but you get the idea. Moisture is important to prevent dough sticking.[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=medium]I then used a mixture of pecorino romano and parmesan with 4 eggs to make the sauce. The noodles cooked, and so did the pancetta. I heated the bowl with some hot pasta water, and simmered the pancetta in more pasta water. I drained the pasta, and combined all ingredients. The heat cooked the egg and cheese mixture.[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=medium]Eat. I might add more pasta to dilute the cheese sauce a little later. I used probably about a third of what I should have.[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=medium](The POL is in the final pics. Sorry have no time to wait for bumps. Nor to take and sort a lot of creative pictures. Thanks also to my mom for helping speed me through prep and the dish washing. Ok off to work now. later all. )[/SIZE]

so yea I just got home from an insane birthday 24 hours, and looking at all of these, I am totally wheebzing out of this because 1. I just cant compete on the level of these entries, and 2. I feel like I got hit by a bus, which considering the fact that I slept on the floor of the kitchen of my cousins house, could have actually happened to me
 
thanks alcohol, you are always there for me
 
There are some really fantastic entries here; it will be almost impossible to decide to vote for only one!
 
 
 
 
I'm only slightly disappointed that no one made gingerbread men-shaped pasta.
 
THP has been obcessed with pickles sense NEW YEARS EVE WHEN D3 drank a whole bottle of pickle juice as an attempt to do a HUGE pickle shot.
