For a pasta dough that could be easily rolled out by hand (but still cook up into delicate, springy noodles), we added six extra egg yolks and a couple tablespoons of olive oil. In addition, we incorporated an extended resting period to allow the gluten network to relax and developed a simple, effective rolling technique.

  1. This recipe is free, and calls for a food processor.
    So you do have to buy one machine. But, you don't have to buy a machine you don't already own. That's true of everything,, isn't it?
    In truth, I can't make this one recipe because I'd have to buy a food processornmachine. To tell the truth, "they" are assuming a certain degree of weath in their audience.
    The rest of you are welcome to listen in and contribute to my YouTube channel's income.

    (Edit: I'm here resentful of the IP control because (most of or all?) the recipes, were on Free TV, and are now behind a paywall.) K'ching..$$

  2. She made it look so easy! I'm not as intimated to try making pasta. I was waiting till I could buy a machine. Now I know how to make it from scratch w/o a machine! Great job ATK! Love your shows and videos! Thank you!

  3. Lan Lam, I know this has been posted for quite a while now, but only recently reviewed it. I am 66 years old and have never attempted to make homemade pasta. Combining your technique, along with 2-3 others I had seen I got the confidence to give making pasta a try, and used a wooden had roller to roll out the dough and then sliced the noodles. It was delicious and the recipe that you provided gives the noodle the richest flavors. Thank you.
