If you recall, I made Semolina Pasta dough
not too long ago and I still have dough wrapped up in the fridge.
I pulled off a small piece yesterday and went to work
at making noodles for our dinner.
In case you're wondering about the size
of that mound of dough,
that's a 1-cup measuring cup next to it.
I flattened the dough a bit and rolled it through my
pasta machine several times on the widest #1 setting.
This is what it looks like after about 3 times
through the #1 setting.
#2 setting.
I ran it through this about 3 times,
each time starting at the opposite end.
Here's the #3 setting.
Went through the #3 again.
This is after the #4 setting.
You really need 4 hands to do this properly
but Mr. Hawthorne was busy doing something else.
And this is the #5 setting.
This is how long it was after the #5 setting.
Notice my machine has a #6 and a #7 setting.
I've never had success at #6, so naturally
I haven't even tried #7,
but I'm feeling adventurous today.
Throwing caution to the wind,
I set the pasta maker on #6.
First I cut the #5 pasta strips in half,
then I ran it through on #6.
#6 pastas on the outside.
#5 pastas on the inside.
I decided, what the heck,
let's do 'em all at #6.
I'm on a roll!
And here are all my little pasta strips.
I wasn't brave enough to try #7.
Maybe next time.
Then I put the cutting attachment on,
ran the sheets through,
and I have fettucini.
PVC pipe has many uses.
And my pasta is ready for dinner.
Which is the next post.
