Homemade Pasta is one of the most popular of current trending foods on earth. It’s appreciated by millions every day. It’s easy, it is fast, it tastes delicious. They are fine and they look fantastic. Homemade Pasta is something which I have loved my entire life.
To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook homemade pasta using 6 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Homemade Pasta:
- Get 150 grams Bread (strong) flour
- Take 50 grams Cake flour
- Take 2 Eggs
- Prepare 1 pinch Salt
- Make ready 1 tbsp Olive oil
- Get 1 Bread flour for dusting
Add all ingredients to a food processor. Process until mixture starts to form a ball. You should knead the dough for at about ten minutes until it bouncers back when pressed down with your finger. You may want to start with a little less water depending on the size of your eggs and moistness of your flour.
Steps to make Homemade Pasta:
- Make a well in the center of the flour, and break the eggs into it. Add the salt and olive oil, stir until the dough becomes crumbly, and gather the dough into a ball.
- Knead the dough well until the surface is smooth, wrap with plastic wrap, and let it rest for a few hours in the refrigerator. Take out and cut into 2-3 portions.
- Roll out the dough and adjust the thickness and width so that it easily fits into the pasta machine. It might be easier if you start off by rolling out the dough just a little thinner than 1 cm.
- <Rolling out the dough> It will be easier to work with a firmer dough. Flatten out the dough using the pasta machine first on the thickest setting and gradually going (I turn my dial 7 -> 5 -> 3…1) thinner and thinner as the dough stretches. Be sure to flour the pasta.
- Send the dough through the machine as you slowly turn the hand crank. Catch the dough from the other side being careful not to stretch the pasta.
- According to my pasta machine, when the thickness dial is set to No. 2, I attach the 2 mm width cutter, and when the thickness dial is set to No. 1, I attach the 6 mm width cutter. Let the rolled out dough rest for a while.
- Cutting the dough: Flour the pasta dough, and send it through the 6 mm cutter as you slowly turn the hand crank. Hang the finished pasta on a drying rack or spread on a baking tray to dry.
- If not using the pasta immediately, store in an air-tight container, and chill in the refrigerator, or freeze it to have it keep for longer. Boil the pasta for about 2 minutes while keeping an eye on them.
You should knead the dough for at about ten minutes until it bouncers back when pressed down with your finger. You may want to start with a little less water depending on the size of your eggs and moistness of your flour. This simple fresh pasta recipe yields delicious noodles you can cut into virtually any shape, from spaghetti to lasagna, ravioli to fettuccine. Once you learn the technique, it's quick to make, and you can experiment with flavorings inside the dough, as well as a universe of sauces and toppings. The main pitfall of homemade pasta is thickness.
Foods That Make Your Mood Better
In general, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and have to be avoided. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be altogether nourishing and it’s good for you to consume them. There are several foods that really can improve your moods when you eat them. If you seem to be a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, you may be astonished to discover, are fantastic at combating depression. Just make sure that you do not throw out the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, particularly the yolks, are rich in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be great for elevating your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–function better. Consume an egg and feel better!
Make several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all wonderful for raising your mood. This is because these nuts are loaded with magnesium, which helps to increase your production of serotonin. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that tells the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The more of it in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Nuts, on top of bettering your mood, can be a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are excellent if you are wanting to feel happier. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. DHA and omega-3s are two things that actually help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can really help you fight back depression.
Some grains are really excellent for driving away bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly great for helping raise your happiness levels. These foods fill you up better and that can help improve your moods as well. Feeling starved can actually make you feel terrible! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not difficult to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.
Green tea is truly good for your mood. You just knew it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is loaded with a particular amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Research has proven that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while at the same calming the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you become healthier. And now you are aware that it can help you be happier also!
As you can see, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Test out these suggestions instead!
