How to Make Pasta the Keener Way (10 Steps) by Ian Seckington

So basically we decided we should make some pasta from scratch and by hand because obviously that would be super sick. Here’s how we did it Step 1: Put 2 cups ish of flour on a plate or in a bowl would work better but we used a plate Step 2: make a little well in the center of the flour Step 3: crack three eggs into the well Step 4: Slowly incorporate the eggs into the flour until it’s all mixed and you have a ball Step 4: flour and knead until it all sticks together and retracts when you smoosh it Step 5: Try to roll out strips of the dough but you don’t have a pasta press so you realize that won’t work by hand so you come up with a different strategy Step 6: Use this strategy of hand made pasta shapes (whatever shape they might be) and make a bunch of them Step 7: Boil some water (you actually probably should have started this before step 6) add a bit of salt to the water (this adds flavor)(maybe a tablespoon spoon or so) Step 8: put the pasta in the boiling water and LET… IT…COOOOOOOOOKK!! (Use a wooden spoon to stir every once in a while and try a piece of pasta) Step 9: once the pasta is cooked strain it in a colander and turn the stone off Step 10: butter it up and sprinkle some cheese on top *Disclaimer: we were totally winging it because keeners are fun people, recipes are for boring people *IMPORTANT: always use an Italian accent while cooking pasta, the mentality cooks, not you Thanks for making pasta with us. And if you read this and didn’t make pasta, what are you doing? Do you just read recipes for fun in your spare time. You don’t have that much time. Life is short. Go kayaking, make pasta. What are you doing just sitting there?
