HOMEMADE FARFALLE PASTA

Steps:

• Mix flour and salt in a large bowl or on a marble work surface. Make a well in the center.
• Pour water into the well a little at a time, mixing it with the flour. Add as much water as needed to make a sticky but compact dough.
• Knead dough with your hands by flattening the ball, stretching it, and folding the top towards the center. Turn 45 degrees and repeat until dough is elastic and smooth, but not too soft, about 10 minutes.
• Shape dough into a ball. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
• Cut off 1/3 of the dough. Wrap the remaining dough in plastic wrap to keep it from drying out. Flatten dough with your hands and pass through the largest setting of your pasta machine. Fold in half, rub with more flour, and pass through the pasta machine again.
• Keep passing though the machine until you reach an even rectangular sheet of smooth, not sticky, consistency.
• Pass the dough through the middle setting of your machine and then through the second-to-last to make a long and thin sheet. Trim the sheet into an even rectangle and rub with more flour.
• Trim off the short edge of the rectangle with a decorative ravioli wheel cutter. Trim the rectangle into strips, about 3/4 inch wide, with a flat ravioli wheel cutter. Section the strips into 1 1/3-inch large pieces with the decorative cutter.
• Push the sides of each piece towards the centre to form a bow tie and secure with a little dab of water.
• Proceed the same way with the rest of the dough. Transfer the farfalle to a floured surface and sprinkle with more semolina flour. Do not overlap or they will stick. Let dry for about 30 minutes before cooking.

FARFALLE PASTA WITH BEET VINAIGRETTE AND PARSLEY PESTO

Steps:

• For the parsley pesto: Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the kosher salt until the water tastes like seawater and stir to blend. Add the parsley and cook for 1 minute, and then remove with a slotted spoon. Immediately plunge leaves into an ice bath and allow to cool, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the leaves slightly and then put them in the blender with the sugar and olive oil. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add some water to facilitate blending. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the scallions and set aside in a bowl large enough to hold the pasta.
• For the beet vinaigrette: Put the beet pieces in a medium saucepan and add 1 cup of water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Allow it to reduce until there is about 1/4 cup liquid. Add the remaining 1 cup of water and reduce again until you have only 1/4 cup left. Season to taste. Remove from the heat and stir in the red wine vinegar and olive oil.
• For the pasta: In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add a generous amount of salt; the pasta water should taste like seawater. Add the pasta to the pot and stir so it doesn't stick to the bottom as it cooks. Cook the pasta until al dente (chewy but not hard or raw tasting) 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving some pasta cooking liquid in case you need it later.
• To serve: Pour the pasta into the bowl with the parsley pesto. Add the beet vinaigrette and butter and toss to blend. Add the Parmesan and finely sliced beet greens, if using. Serve immediately. Alternatively, you can drizzle the red beet vinaigrette over the pasta for a different color effect.

BEEF STROGANOFF N IRISH BEER & FARFALLE PASTA

Steps:

• 1. If you do not purchase the meat already cut into strips, then you will need to use a VERY sharp knife to do so. TIP: If you partially freeze the meat, it will be much easier to cut into thin strips. I made both chunks and strips. Remove excess fat. You can cut recipe in half if desired.
• 2. Partial list of the main ingredients in the recipe. I wanted to use snow peas, but ended up using sugar snap peas.
• 3. Add the seven spices to a small bowl.
• 4. Blend throughly together before sprinkling over meat.
• 5. Season meat with spice blend and allow to marinate at least 15 minutes, this will enhance the flavors of the meat
• 6. Then add flour and coat meat evenly.
• 7. Slice onions and separate rings and combine with sliced mushrooms. Then add a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of oil to a large skillet, I used a 16 inch skillet, heat over medium high heat, then add sliced onions and mushrooms, and sauté till crisp tender, then remove from skillet and set aside, till needed.
• 8. Next add 3 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil, heat till hot and add enough of the meat to cover the bottom of the skillet and cook till browned on all sides, then remove to a large platter. Repeat adding more butter and oil if needed,& cook until all of the meat has been cooked.

Then turn heat to medium high, add the worcestershire sauce, & the beer,(CAN USE HALF BEEF BROTH OR CONSUMME IF DESIRED) stir , cover and reduce heat and allow to simmer for 15 minutes, then remove lid. I AM ONLY SHOWING ONE BUT HAD TO ADD TWO.
