1/2 lb pasta, of your choice (I like thin spaghetti, angel hair or 1/2 lb elbow macaroni)

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 ΒΌ cups Italian-style tipo 00 flour
3 large eggs
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Place flour on a marble or wooden work surface. Make a well in the center and crack in eggs; add salt. Gently beat eggs using a fork, incorporating the surrounding flour, until mixture is runny. Pull remaining flour into the center using a bench scraper, incorporating it until dough forms a ball.
  • Knead dough with your hands by flattening the ball, stretching it, and folding the top towards the center. Turn 45 degrees and repeat until dough is soft and smooth, about 10 minutes.
  • Shape dough into a ball. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Roll out the dough with a pasta machine or with a rolling pin and cut into your favorite pasta.

THE ITALIAN SCRAMBLE



The Italian Scramble image

From Dom DeLuise. Be sure not to overcook the eggs. The original does not say what kind of grated cheese to use on top. I chose Parmesan, but you can use whatever you want. Serve with hot Italian bread.

4 eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
8 slices thick bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 cups al-dente cooked pasta
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the eggs. They should be cooked until they are just set, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your scramble. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients.
  • Add cheese to your scramble for a gooey, rich flavor. Parmesan, cheddar, and mozzarella are all good choices.
  • Serve your scramble with a side of toast, fruit, or yogurt for a complete meal.
