This recipe, I think, is one of the simplest you can find. Also called Pasta A.O.P. And P is not for pomodoro, which doens't belong in this dish.
It is garlic, oil and chilli.
Each of you can add after taste, but I love love garlic, and I like it hot.
I made the pasta myself, and of course it will be much quicker if you buy it. For this recipe, I like the fresh pasta, soft, not al dente.
For the pasta dough:
200 g Pasta flour/Durum wheat flour/or what you prefer.
2 no of eggs. Keep a little back, and see if you need it all.
Then you knead, knead and knead, till your biceps are sore :-) around 10 min, You can feel it when it is done. I'll bet this is as good as push-ups, which btw still is my plan to start with again....soon.
Let the dough rest for 15-20 min.
I used a pasta machine, actually I've never tried making it without one, and made fettuccine.
While boiling the pasta (about 5 min) in lots of water and salt, I made the salsa.
2 Sliced garlic cloves, or more
Chilli, as much as you like
2 tbsp of Olive oil
Heat the oil, add the garlic and sweat shortly, add chilli and let it toast a little. Toss the hot boiled pasta in it and serve.
It doesn't need much time on the heat. I like the garlic to be a little crispy, but be careful not to burn it, it turns quickly from light to dark brown. And if it becomes too dark or burnt, it gets bitter and you have to start over.
Let me know if you have any good tips for making different doughs. I would like to try to make one with high content of fiber, and still haven't tried to make one with semolina.
Though, next time, I'll make it a different colour :-)
