To get started with this recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can cook superbly textured homemade pasta using 5 ingredients and 14 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Superbly Textured Homemade Pasta:
- Get 400 grams Bread (strong) flour
- Prepare 400 grams Cake flour
- Make ready 2 Eggs
- Get 380 ml together with the eggs Water
- 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:
- Add water to the eggs to make a total of 380 ml. Add the salt and stir well to dissolve.
- 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.
- Mix it round and round with chopsticks This is fun to do with kids.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.)
- Stand on top of the plastic bag and knead the dough with your feet. This is where my kids help out.
- When it gets flat, fold the four sides to the center and knead again. The more you repeat this, the firmer it becomes.
- 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.
- Roll the dough out thinly, and cut it in a pasta machine.
- If cutting it by hand, roll the dough out thinly, fold it in thirds and cut it.
- Dry it lightly so it doesn't stick together. (I use a laundry hanger)
- 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

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.
Turn to Food to Boost Your Mood
Mostly, people have been trained to think that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and must be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this holds true. At times, comfort foods can be perfectly nutritious and good for us to eat. Some foods honestly do raise your mood when you eat them. If you feel a little bit down and you need a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually terrific at dealing with depression. Just be sure that you don’t toss out the egg yolk. When you wish to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, the yolk in particular, are stuffed full of B vitamins. B vitamins can really help you boost your mood. This is because the B vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Eat an egg and cheer up!
Put together several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be raised by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is possible because these foods are rich in magnesium which boosts your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that directs your brain how you feel all the time. The higher your serotonin levels, the happier you will feel. Not just that, nuts, particularly, are a great protein food source.
Cold water fish are good if you are wanting to be in a better mood. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fats. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you overcome depression.
It’s not difficult to fight your bad mood when you are eating grains. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all great for helping you feel happier. They help you feel full as well which can really help to make your mood better. Feeling starved can be terrible! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are easy for your stomach to digest. You digest them faster than other things which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel more pleasant, mood wise.
Your mood could actually be helped by green tea. You just knew it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea has a lot of an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while at the same calming the rest of your body. You probably already knew it is not hard to be healthy when you consume green tea. Now you know that applies to your mood too!
As you can see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are terrible for you so you can feel better! Try these suggestions instead!
