Made some fresh pasta tonight, 3 eggs, 300g organic flour, put in food processor at full ball until bread crumb texture. If it all sticks into a ball, add more flour to get bread crumb texture. Empty onto bench, roll/knead into ball, using pasta roller on the thickest setting, roll out a sheet of pasta, fold in half and roll again. Repeat until pasta is smooth. Once smooth, drop the thickness down one at a time until desired thickness reached. Flour surface, fold in half, half again and then again. Cut pasta into fettuccine or desired thickness. Cook in boiling salted water for 1-3mins (depending on how you like your pasta - the longer the boil, the chewier the pasta).
For the sauce, pull up a whole brocoli plant, cut up the leaves, stalks and heads and blanch in boiling salt water. Make up a basic cream sauce - cream, butter, dash of milk, salt, pepper, cheese and herbs. Mix blanched brocoli in the sauce, stir sauce into cooked pasta, serve with parmasen cheese! Yum!
Didn't take photos tonight, but the family loved it so much that I will make again tomorrow night and do photos.
