    Title: Homemade Pasta
    Categories: Five, Pasta
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 c All-purpose flour
    1/4 c Semolina flour
    2 Eggs

    On a clean work surface, using your hands, mix together
    the flours. Form the mixture into a mound and create a
    well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well. Using a
    fork, gently begin to beat the eggs, mixing in a tiny bit
    of flour with each stroke. (Protect the well by using
    your non-beating hand to build up the flour around the
    edge as you beat.) As the dough begins to thicken and
    most of the flour has been added, start to stir the
    dough. When the dough can no longer be stirred, use your
    hand to mix in the remaining flour, kneading until firm
    and elastic. Cover with a clean towel; let rest 20
    minutes.

    On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into an 18"
    circle about 1/16" thick. (Be patient. This will take
    some time and muscle!). Be sure to roll from the center
    out. The dough is thin enough when you lift it and you
    can start to see your hands underneath. Lightly flour the
    surface of the dough. Starting from the side closest to
    you, loosely roll into a spiral. Cut into strips 1/4" to
    1/2" wide. Unroll strips to separate. Sprinkle lightly
    with flour. Let stand 1 hour.

    Cook in a large pot of boiling, salted water 2 to 3
    minutes or until tender; drain well. Serve with desired
    sauce.

    FROM THE TEST KITCHEN: Add these flavor additions along
    to the well with the eggs. If too wet, mixture may need a
    bit more all-purpose flour.

    HERB: 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, basil
    rosemary, sage, oregano, or thyme.

    BEET: 1 small roasted beet, pureed until smooth (about 3
    tablespoons)

    SAFFRON: 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, crushed and soaked
    in 2 Tbsp. warm water for 30 minutes.

    SPINACH: 1/2 of a 10 oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach,
    thawed, squeezed dry, and finely chopped.

    ROASTED RED PEPPER: 1/2 of a roasted red sweet pepper,
    pureed until smooth (about 3 tablespoons).

    Makes: 4 servings
