I saw this pasta on Martha Steward's show about 2 weeks ago. During his program, he cooked delicious Italian dishes with his chefs from different Italian restaurants.
I couldn't cook because I had a shoot that day. In the evening, when my wife came home (I don't want to miss the show, but I have to cook), I started muttering. Thankfully, he didn't break me down, he watched the entire program on an empty stomach and took notes. Thanks to his notes, I applied the recipe at home a day later :)
An incredibly delicious recipe, pasta ingredients are just water, flour and parsley.
But there was a problem with the dimensions given in the program, it is impossible to keep the dough even in the mixer with 2 cups of flour and 1,5 cups of water. I was able to attach 4 cups of flour to 1,5 cups of water from experiment to experiment. At these measurements, the dough gets a soft and smooth consistency.
The reason why we add the parsley after the dough is made is because we want the parsley to dye the dough green. When we add the chopped parsley into the dough we cut into small pieces and knead it, we get a white pasta dough with parsley pieces in it.
As for the Hot Dog Ragu, I didn't use the white wine in the recipe. When fennel and cinnamon combined with cream, an exquisite flavor emerged. I recommend you try it. Love…
