Vincenzo’s Top Tips To Make Pasta Sauce

Just keep on kneading

Keep kneading the dough so that it begins to firm up and also smooth out.

Make sure the egg doesn’t run away!

Bring the edges of the flour into the center with the fork, and quickly continue to cover them all the way around. Keep doing this until all of the eggs have folded into the flour. You will need to use your hands at this point.

Sprinkle it on top

Sprinkle a generous amount of parmesan cheese on top along with a few leftover basil or celery leaves.

Ingredients

½ Onion
1 Carrot
Celery stick
Fresh basil
200 grams Prosciutto cut into cubes
400 grams Italian Tomato Sauce
300 grams Italian Sausages
100 ml Vegetable stock
100 ml Red wine
Salt & Pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
3 pinches Rock salt
5 L Water
Parmesan
Fresh Pasta

Instructions

Fresh Pasta
To make the fresh pasta, pour the flour on to your board/table.
Make a small-medium size mound using the flour and create a well in the center.
Crack each egg onto the plate, then drop it into the well. This will prevent any unwanted egg shell remnants from getting inside the flour.
Whisk the eggs carefully using a fork.
Bring the edges of the flour into the centre with the fork, and quickly continue to cover them all the way around. Keep doing this (making sure the egg doesn't run away!) until all of the eggs have folded into the flour. You will need to use your hands at this point.
Begin to mix it together using both hands until the dough for the fresh pasta begins to form.
Keep kneading the dough so that it begins to firm up and also smooth out.
Cut a couple of slices from the main piece – approx. 2-2.5cm thick, and feed them through the largest slot in your fresh pasta making machine. Each time it passes through, fold it together and repeat.
Work your way down to the thinner options until you get the smooth consistency required. You might need to sprinkle some added flour on top of the sheet, to prevent it from sticking.
It is then time to pass the pasta sheets through the correct option for Tagliatelle.
