I found this from the Kraft Canada website and I tweaked it a bit to suit my tastes. I found the original recipe bland (which some of my family members would love!). The original recipe didn't call for salt and pepper but it really does need some. You may need to season it more when serving.

FRESH PASTA SQUARES



Fresh Pasta Squares image

Categories     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 24 (3 1/2-inch) squares

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour plus additional for kneading
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large egg yolks
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons water
Special Equipment
a pasta maker

Steps:

  • Make dough:
  • Blend all ingredients in a food processor until mixture just begins to form a ball. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, incorporating only as much additional flour as necessary to keep dough from sticking, until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let stand 1 hour.
  • Roll out dough:
  • Set smooth rollers of pasta machine at widest setting. Cut dough into 4 pieces and keep 3 pieces covered. Flatten unwrapped piece of dough into a rectangle and feed through rollers. Fold rectangle in half and feed through rollers 8 more times, folding in half each time and dusting with flour as necessary to prevent sticking.
  • Turn dial to next (narrower) setting and feed dough through without folding. Continue to feed dough through without folding, making space between rollers narrower each time, until narrowest setting is used. Cut rolled-out dough into 31/2-inch squares. Gather trimmings into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Transfer squares to a wax-paper-lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Roll out and cut remaining dough in same manner, then repeat with trimmings.

Tips:

  • For crispy spaghetti squares, ensure the spaghetti is cooked al dente before baking.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the spaghetti into even squares for uniform baking.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheese blends for a customized flavor profile.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese before serving for an extra touch of flavor.
  • Serve spaghetti squares as an appetizer, main course, or even as a side dish.

By combining the flavors of spaghetti, cheese, and sauce in a crispy baked form, this recipe creates a delightful culinary experience.
