OK you seniors, do any of you have the recipe for Pasta?
That I use in my Pasta express ctc Machine. Now this is a little machine, that I put flour and water in, and it mixes it and extrudes it. It is not a plastic container with a lid that you pour boiling water and manufactured pasta in and let set. It is electric. Bought a machine and no receipe booklet inside.
thank You

HOMEMADE PASTA
2 lg. eggs
pinch of salt
2 c. sifted flour
Sift flour onto a clean, preferably wooden surface. Make a well and drop 2 eggs into the well. Add the salt. With hands, work the flour and egg mixture into a dough, similar to bread dough. Clean surface, dust lightly with flour and knead the dough for 5 to 10 minutes until the surface is smooth and elastic. Cut dough into 4 sections. Roll each section one at a time on a flour surface with a floured rolling pin until thin (similar to pie crust.) At this point, use your imagination, cut the pasta into any shapes you desire. The easiest shape for the first time is to cut similar to egg noodles. Place pasta on a clean surface.
Our mothers would put a clean sheet over the bedspread and layer the pasta onto this sheet for drying. Pasta will dry in a very short time. Cook pasta as you would a commercial brand. The cooking time would be less, however; you will have to use judgment by testing. Test pasta by removing 1 or 2 strands from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and tasting. This is where the term al dente comes from; dente meaning tooth.
This recipe is close to mine I think, I’m at work. I don’t use a machine so I hope this can work for you! Good luck!
Do you mean the instructions for use of the pasta making machine, rather than ‘recipe’?
‘Cause recipes would be the same as for fresh or boxed pasta…do whatever you wish with it…make tomato sauce; alfredo sauce; toss it with garlic and olive oil etc etc etc.
If the book is what you’re looking for, go online for the machine maker and request one…I’ve had to do that with other items from time to time.
You might try going to the website of the company who made the machine. There may be information there. Good luck.
