SQUID INK PASTA


  • Author: Luigi Esposito

Ingredients

Scale

500g Pasta/Pizza Flour

3 Whole Eggs

9 Egg Yolks

1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 Pinch of Salt

2 tbsp Squid Ink


Instructions

Step One
Combine all the ingredients in a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment and mix on low speed for 10 minutes. The dough should come together within 2-3 minutes of mixing.

Step Two
Once the pasta is mixed, divide into 4 discs, and wrap them individually with plastic wrap and allow it to rest for 30 to 60 minutes.

Step Three
Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle, with the long edge facing you. Fold the right short edge two-thirds of the way to the left, then fold the left short edge over to meet the right. Rotate 90 degrees and roll out again to a rectangle. Repeat the folding and rolling process twice more. Cut dough into 4 strips as close to the width of your pasta machine.

Step Four
Set pasta machine at its widest setting.

Step Five
Set your pasta machine at its widest setting working your way down one number at a time on the dial of thickness until you achieve 2mm thickness. 

Step Six
Once you have the pasta rolled out, feed it through your Tagliolini attachment. If not, flour the sheets of pasta, fold in half, flour again and fold in half. Using a sharp knife, cut fine ribbons 2-3mm in thickness. Separate the strands of pasta and dust in flour to prevent clumping. Store pasta covered in the fridge until ready to use.
