Fresh Herb and
Green Onion Pasta
Makes 1 pound 5 ounces of dough
3¼ cups plus 1½ tablespoons
unbleached, all purpose
flour
3 tablespoons finely chopped
fresh, mixed herbs
(basil, chives, dill, parsley,
tarragon, oregano or mint)
1 tablespoon finely chopped
green onion (approximately
1 green onion)
1 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
Place the flour, herbs, onion, and salt
in the Cuisinart
™
mixing bowl. Insert
the flat mixing paddle. Mix ingredients
together on speed 3. Crack eggs into
a measuring cup with a pour spout.
With stand mixer running on speed 3,
pour the eggs in slowly, one at a time,
in a continuous flow. Mix for about
1 to 2 minutes until the mixture just
comes together. Replace the flat mixing
paddle with the dough hook and knead
the dough on speed 4 for 3 minutes. A
smooth dough ball should form.
Remove dough and wrap in plastic.
Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes.
Attach the pasta maker attachment to
the stand mixer. Turn to speed 4. Run
the dough through the pasta maker in
small, grape-size pieces (no larger than
¾ inch). Should any pieces get stuck in
the feed tube, gently tap with the back
end of the wrench.
Be sure to separate pasta strands once
cut from the pasta maker. Lightly toss
bundles of pasta with cornmeal to
prevent sticking. Cook immediately.
To cook pasta: Use a very large
stockpot filled with enough water for
the pasta to move. Add 2 tablespoons
of salt to the water. Add the pasta
when water is at a full boil. Start
checking fresh pasta at 30 seconds.
Tubular and thicker pasta will take
longer, up to 5 minutes to cook.
