SEC-S20W3 | 2nd half: Pasta
Exploring cooking skills has really been my pleasure and I enjoyed this grastronomy class as it helps me to know different skills and wish to learn more.
I learnt a new thing this week, wish is making of pasta. I and my family like eating pasta but we never know to make it, from the lecture, I bought ingredients required then proceeded to prepare fresh pasta and the experience was supper amazing.
I have never made fresh pasta before now. My first experience of making fresh pasta is just few hours ago when I made it in practice to what I've learned in this week gastronomy class.
So after going through this pasta lecture, I understand the ingredients I needed and how to prepare the pasta then I went to the market to buy this ingredients. I bought flour, egg and tomato for sauce.
I decided to make a Tagliatelle pasta so I used my weighing scale to measured out 85g of flour for the preparation since it is just for 1 person.
Ingredients
- Flour
- Egg
- Salt
- Water
Mis en place
First I added salt to the flour mixed it then made a hole in the middle of the the flour then add my egg
Then I mixed it thoroughly and added a little amount of water to it and continue mixing for about 10 minutes till the dough is smooth.
I covered it with a plastic bag and put it aside for about 1 hour to rest. I used that time to prepare my tomato sauce.
In one hour time, the dough was ready to be stretched, so I stretched the dough with the rolling pin till it becomes very thin then I proceeded to the next step.
I used knife to cut it in julienne shape although it was long, I carefully cut it.
I boiled water in a pot till it boil, added salt
I finally added my pasta to the boiling water and cover the pot till it's done.
My tagliatelle pasta was ready I added my tomato sauce to it and I really enjoyed the taste of it
Tagliatelle pasta with tomato sauce
I dished out the pasta for 1 person, I used tomato sauce with chicken as protein to complete a main dish for one person.
It really delicious, and I'm happy I was able to make it tasty even though it was my first time.
It will be nice to go with mixed salad as a starter and pineapple smoothie as a desert. I think this will go well as it has complete balanced diet.
Starter: mixed salad
Main dish; Tagliatelle pasta with tomato sauce
Dessert; Pineapple smoothie
This is a very nice combo as it will make the person feel fine after eating and not too heavy for consumption.
It was my first time of making fresh pasta, I stand to be corrected if there is any omissions or mistakes, I will be perfect with series of practice.
Thank you for going through my post, thank you nahela for your courses
I will like to invite @ninapenda @yahnel and @alexanderpeace
I tot pasta was just the already made ones we eat but I guess I was in for a surprise. Maybe I’d give this a try. Thanks for the enlightenment. It looks yummylicious
Oh really??
She mentioned fresh pasta and I followed her steps to prepare this, I never prepare it before but I tried my best. 🤣🤣🤣
Is good you give it a try
🌝
Se ve encantador tu platillo, los colores y el propio plato embellecen tu presentación.
Te felicito por tu pasta fresca, se ve muy provocativa, aunque yo la haría menos gruesa, con gusto me comería ese rico plato principal así como lo presentas.
Felicidades por esta excelente experiencia haciendo pasta fresca por primera vez.
Oh I'm grateful, thank you please
Your pasta came out perfectly well!
I can imagine how yummy this will taste with tomato sauce and also with the starter & dessert combo. Thank you for sharing your work in details. Many success in the contest!
It tastes just like a ready made pasta and with the sauce, it was really yummy. Thank you for your nice comments, I appreciate your best wishes
Wow, this is incredible, the simplicity of the process got me salivating,I don't have any idea about this before now. I think this is what it should be I'm surely going to try it . @eliany I hope it taste as good as it's looking if not you will refund me, you understand the economy of our country we don't waste money like before.
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is tasty 😋
Give it a try, but try a little quantity in case you don't like it so you won't waste your resources.
Thank you for your comments, I appreciate 😊
Приготування пасти просте, але дуже по часу затратне. Тому іноді купити вже готовий виріб та зварити простіше. Але домашні вироби все одно смачніші. Вітаю з початком готування!)
Yes that is true, it really takes time while preparing it but the taste of it, worth the stress.
I enjoyed the already made pasta as well.
Thank you for your nice comments and best wishes
This looks tasty!
