Ingredients for 4 pers.:

  • 200 gr pasta flour
  • 2 eggs
  • olive oil
  • sea salt
  • pepper
  • 1 red chili pepper
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • fresh parsley
  • parmesan cheese

How to prepare it:

As with all my pasta recipes, I’m making the pasta myself but I’ll also note down in the recipe when you can start cooking the pasta.

If you are making fresh pasta start with prepping the pasta dough. Take 200 gr of pasta flour and mix this (in you food processor) with 2 eggs and a dash of salt. Once the dough is becoming a nice boll, you put the dough in a bowl in the fridge. You can already put a pan with water on the stove, do the same when you are using dried pasta.

Chop the parsley. Cut the red chili pepper in half, take out the seeds and cut the pepper in thin slices. Peel the skin of the garlic, cut the garlic into thin slices.

Now that all ingredients are ready to be used, it’s time to start prepping the pasta.

Make sure your countertop is clean and dry so to roll out the pasta dough. Cover your countertop with some flour and roll out the pasta dough until you can cut it into pieces that fit into the pasta machine.

Pull the pasta sleeves approx.. 3 times through the pasta machine. For this dish I’ve used tagliatelle. So once the sleeves are thin enough you can take them through the tagliatelle shaper. After this, hang them on your drying rack.

Add sea salt and olive oil to the boiling water. Put the fresh pasta in the pan. It needs to boil for 5 minutes.

Put a frying pan on the stove. Add a sip of olive oil, don’t be thrifty! Once the olive oil is hot, add the chili pepper and the garlic into the frying pan. Let it fry for a moment. After that you can add the pasta to the frying pan, add a tablespoon of the cooking broth of the pasta.  Boil everything another 2 minutes, add the parsley and finish off with some parmesan cheese before serving.

Enjoy!!
