To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have superbly textured homemade pasta using 5 ingredients and 14 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Superbly Textured Homemade Pasta:
  1. Get 400 grams Bread (strong) flour
  2. Get 400 grams Cake flour
  3. Make ready 2 Eggs
  4. Make ready 380 ml together with the eggs Water
  5. Take 10 grams Salt

There are times when this couldn't matter less—times when you're dousing it in a thick, colorful sauce or making uova in raviolo. But sometimes you want to keep things super simple without sacrificing an eye-catching presentation. And sometimes you just want some bright pink noodles, dammit. To make our homemade pasta, we're using semolina flour, a high-protein flour made from Durum wheat.

Instructions to make Superbly Textured Homemade Pasta:
  1. Add water to the eggs to make a total of 380 ml. Add the salt and stir well to dissolve.
  2. Sift the strong flour and cake four into your largest bowl. (The one in the photo is from the 100 yen store.) Make a well in the center of the flour. Save a little (approximately 50 ml) of the Step 1 mixture, and pour the rest into the well.
  3. Mix it round and round with chopsticks This is fun to do with kids.
  4. When it looks crumbly like the photo, it's ready. If there are large lumps, rub them together with your fingers to make small crumbs.
  5. Gather the dough into a ball. If it's hard to bring it together, add some of the leftover egg mixture, a little at a time. It's better not to add any if you're planning to use a pasta machine, since a firmer dough works better. When the dough just barely comes together, it's ready.
  6. Put the dough on top of a large plastic bag and cover it with another plastic bag. (I bought the plastic sheet in the photo at a wholesale store.)
  7. Stand on top of the plastic bag and knead the dough with your feet. This is where my kids help out.
  8. When it gets flat, fold the four sides to the center and knead again. The more you repeat this, the firmer it becomes.
  9. When the dough is firm, form it into a ball, put it in a plastic bag and chill it in the fridge for 1 hour or up to one day.
  10. Roll the dough out thinly, and cut it in a pasta machine.
  11. If cutting it by hand, roll the dough out thinly, fold it in thirds and cut it.
  12. Dry it lightly so it doesn't stick together. (I use a laundry hanger)
  13. Boil for 2-3 minutes and it's done! I used it to make "Cold Pasta with Cheese and Summer Vegetables,". - - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/140691-cold-pasta-with-cheese-and-summer-vegetables
  14. Tomato and Eggplant Pasta

And sometimes you just want some bright pink noodles, dammit. To make our homemade pasta, we're using semolina flour, a high-protein flour made from Durum wheat. It makes better pasta than all-purpose flour because it develops a stronger gluten structure, which means a more pliable dough. Follow along with the recipe for Fresh Semolina and Egg Pasta. Homemade pasta cooks way quicker than store-bought pasta.

Try Using Food to Improve Your Mood

Many of us believe that comfort foods are terrible for us and that we should stay away from them. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true. Other times, comfort foods can be perfectly healthy and good for us to consume. There are several foods that, when you consume them, can boost your mood. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try some of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be truly great at dealing with depression. Just see to it that you do not toss the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolks especially, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can really help you elevate your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Consume an egg and feel better!

Make a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be raised by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. This is because these nuts are high in magnesium, which helps to raise serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that tells your brain how you feel at all times. The higher your levels of serotonin, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Not only that but nuts, specifically, are a great protein food source.

Cold water fish are excellent if you would like to feel better. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you fight your depression.

Grains can be wonderful for fighting a terrible mood. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are excellent at helping you be happier. These foods fill you up better and that can help improve your moods also. Feeling starved can be terrible! These grains can help your mood elevate since it’s easy for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your blood glucose which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.

Your mood can really be helped by green tea. You knew green tea had to be in this article somewhere, right? Green tea is packed full of an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Research has discovered that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while at the same time relaxing the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you be better. Now you know that applies to your mood also!

Now you can see that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Go with these tips instead!
