to cook your pasta
Before cooking, pasta can be dried
for short periods - up to an hour
before cooking. This will vary
according to the type of pasta
produced.
1 Bring a pan three quarters full of
water to the boil. Add salt to taste.
2 Add your pasta and boil stirring
occasionally. Cook until the pasta is
al dente. It should be tender but yet
still firm to bite. As a guide this will
take 1 - 10 minutes but will vary on
the type of pasta and the texture
desired. Always check the texture
regularly as the pasta will continue to
cook a little after being removed
from the heat.
G
Never add oil to your water as it
makes the pasta slippery, preventing
the sauce from sticking properly.
choosing a sauce for
pasta
Selecting the pasta to the sauce can
make a difference. Tubular shapes
trap bits of food in thick sauces,
wheras long strands are good for
absorbing juices of tomato sauces
and seafood sauces without going
soft, whilst thicker pasta usually
goes with strong flavoured sauces.
biscuit maker
See back page for illustration of the
biscuit maker.
1 Make up one of the following biscuit
recipes and chill in the fridge to allow
the mix to firm.
G
Use small eggs otherwise the mix
will be too soft.
2 Remove the shaper from the bisuit
die. Assemble the pasta maker with
the biscuit die, making sure the slots
in the die end up on either side. Fit
the attachment to the mixer. (The
cutting assembly should not be
fitted.)
3 Slide the shaper into the slots either
side of the die and move until the
desired shape is in the centre of the
hole.
