Hello my dear readers,

or I should say Ciao since my post is all about my favorite food from Italy. Can you guess what it is?

It is one and only PASTA.

Since we can’t travel and enjoy pasta in Italy we can make our own kitchens “Small Italy”. So, are you ready to travel to your kitchen and enjoy the best homemade pasta dough? Of course you are and since this recipe is for absolute beginners let me start with ….

Description of Homemade Pasta Dough

For this recipe you need only 4 ingredients. Flour, eggs, olive oil and salt. Yes, it is that simple.

So, if you think that only chefs can make pasta you are wrong. You can do it. Using your own hands or your best food processor. The choice is yours.

What do you need to practice when it comes to making homemade pasta dough?

Whisking, kneading and rolling…Are you afraid? Don’t be. I already said this is the recipe for absolute beginners. So, I will hold your hands and show you how. Also, this recipe is using less than 1 cup of flour so you can make mistakes and learn.

Like always, I like to start with…

the best homemade pasta — homemade pasta without machine

SHOPPING LIST

flour (all purpose or 00)
olive oil
eggs
salt

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

-food processor

-plate or mixing bowl (if you decide to do by hand)

-sharp knife

ACTION TIME

Homemade Pasta Dough Without Machine in 6 Minutes

Ingredients

2/3 cup flour

1 egg

1 egg yolk

2 tsp olive oil

pinch of sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Making pasta using a food processor.

Add flour, eggs, olive oil and salt to the food processor.

Pulse until you see a crumbly texture.

Transfer to a lightly floured cutting board and pat it into a ball. (use your hands)

Then kneed until it is smooth and elastic. (about 3 minutes)

Your next step is to form the dough into a small ball, wrap with plastic wrap and let is rest for 1 hour.

Then use immediately or transfer to the fridge for up to one day.

MAKING PASTA DOUG BY HAND

For this you can use large plate, large cutting board or smooth surface like a marble counter.

Place flour in a mound on a large cutting board.

Create a well in the center and crack 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk.

Sprinkle the salt and add olive oil on top of the eggs.

Use a fork to whisk the eggs gradually drawing in the flour mixture.

Keep going until forms a ragged dough. (This will be quick for you because you are using a very small amount of the flour.)

Then start to knead until it is smooth and elastic. (for about 3 minutes)

If it is sticky add a little flour, if it is dry add a water.

Form the dough into a very small ball and wrap in a plastic wrap.

Let the dough rest for 1 hour at room temperature.

HOW TO ROLL FRESH PASTA BY HAND

After the dough has been resting for 1 hour, transfer the dough to a cutting board.

Dust some flour on top of it and start rolling.

Keep rolling until the dough becomes as thin as paper (about 1 to 2 mm).

If you are still asking how thin think crepes paper thickens or you should be able to see your hand through the dough if you lift it up.

Remember to master any skills you need to practice. So, keep practicing and you will become the pasta expert.

IMPORTANT: Add extra flour to prevent sticking but don’t get crazy. Always add a very small amount of flour.

Let it rest for 15 minutes.

Cutting the Pasta

Your next step is to lightly flour dough circle, roll loosely on rolling pin.

Slide rolling pin our, press dough roll with hand and cut into desired size strips. (use sharp knife).

Carefully unfold strips.

Boil the salty water and add your homemade fresh pasta. (yes, you did it)

Boil from 4 to 6 minutes.

Enjoy with your favorite sauce.

Review the Steps

-You can make homemade pasta dough using food processor or by hand

-If you are using food processor add 4 ingredients, blend and transfer to cutting board. Make the ball and kneed for 3 minutes. Cover in plastic wrap. Store.

-If making pasta by hand create a well in the center and add eggs, salt and oil. Mix all ingredients using a fork and slowly incorporating the flour into it. Kneed until smooth and elastic. Cover and store.

Quick Note

Flour – use all purpose flour or use 00 flour for pasta. You can find “00 flour for pasta” in Superstore or on amazon. Just search for zero zero flour and you will find it. Personally, I love using the 00 flour for this recipe. It makes a texture of the pasta more smooth. However, you can make homemade pasta dough using an unbleached all purpose flour. The texture is chewier.

Eggs – use large, organic eggs for this recipe.

Salt – please use fine sea salt. You can also skip the salt if you are on diet.

Olive oil – I used organic olive oil.

easy Homemade pasta — homemade pasta without machine in 6 minutes

FINAL NOTE

Making fresh homemade pasta dough can be prepared in any kitchen. You don’t need fancy equipment or ingredients. Super easy to make. Only 4 ingredients or 3 if you don’t use salt.

Delicious, cheap and tasty.

Did I mention fast. Done in 6 minutes.

5 TBSP flour (all purpose, unbleached)

1 tsp rum

1 1/2 cups Nutella

Heavy Cream Topping

2 cups heavy cream

1 pouch Dr. Oetker Whip It

Decoration: 1/2 cup hazelnuts, grounded or chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

Your first step is to toast hazelnuts.

How to toast hazelnuts (for step by step instructions check the link)

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Spread your shelled hazelnuts on it in a single layer.

Place into the oven and bake from 10 to 12 minutes at 350 F.( I did for 10 minutes)

Wrap baked hazelnuts in a kitchen towel and let them hug for a few minutes.

While they are hugging, use kitchen towel to gently rub the hazelnuts to release their skins.

Chopped the hazelnut.

Making the bottom layer cake

Line bottoms of 6 inch cake pans with parchment paper. (do not grease the sides or the bottom).

Add toasted, chopped hazelnuts to the bottom of the pan. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Mixing Bowl:

First mix eggs whites until foamy and then add sugar and mix until firm peaks and sugar is incorporated.

Your next step is to add the flour. You are not going to use mixer at this point.

Add the flour and fold with a spatula. Stop mixing when no streaks of flour remain.

Important: Be sure the flour is incorporated.

Pour the batter into 6 inch prepared pan, on top of the toasted, chopped hazelnuts.

Bake for about 19 minutes but start checking after 15 minutes. ( be sure to check using the toothpick)

Insert the wooden toothpick near the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.

Cool the cake. Remove from the pan.

When removing cake from the pan, be very careful.

Making Vanilla and Chocolate Cake Filling

Add 5 eggs yolks and sugar into the mixing bowl. Mix for about 3 minutes.

Then add 2 Dr. Oetker Vanilla pudding and 1/2 cup milk. (room temperature).

Mix until all ingredients are incorporated. (another minute or two)

Meanwhile, add 3 1/4 cup cold milk into large pot.

Bring the milk to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the egg/pudding mixture.

Return to heat and stir non stop for about 3 minutes or until thickness.

Remove from heat, transfer to the mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it cool.

While the filling is cooling, mix butter and icing sugar until incorporated. (2 minutes)

Add cooled yellow filling to the mixed butter.

Mix all ingredients until incorporated.

Divide into 2.

One will stay yellow filling and the other will become the dark, chocolate filling.

MELTING CHOCOLATE

Melt 5 oz chocolate using the double method. Cool it. Set aside.

Make Chocolate Filling

BTW, this filling is made from vanilla filling.

Take half of the vanilla filling and transfer to the mixing bowl.

Add melted chocolate to the yellow filling and mix until incorporated.

Then add 1 tsp of rum. Mix all ingredients until incorporated.

ASSEMBLY OF Easy Nutella Cake

Using the same 6 inch removable pan start building the cake.

Place egg white cake at the bottom of the pan. (you will have cake with hazelnuts on the top)

Add 1 1/2 cups of Nutella (or as much to cover the base of the cake).

Add half of yellow filling on the top of Nutella.

Sprinkle with grounded hazelnuts.

Then add chocolate filling.

Transfer the whole cake to the fridge for 6 hours or overnight.

NEXT DAY:

Mix heavy cream and whip it.

Cover the chocolate filling with whipped heavy cream.

Optional: You can cover the whole torte (top and sides) with heavy cream. (it is your choice. I did not.)

Top with chopped hazelnut and shaved chocolate.

Lamington Australian Coconut Cake (#1 Recipe)

October 26, 2020 by cookies

This cake is from my happy, safe and free childhood. Lamington Australian Coconut Cake or #1 Recipe for my whole life. Yes, this post is so emotional to me. So much memory and so much love for this cake that I can’t express…but I am sure you can feel it. Love is in the air…from Australia or New Zealand.

Lamingtons Cake — lamingtons Australian Coconut cake-the best cake

If there is one cake that is number #1 inside of my chocolate soul, it is this one.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen I like you to meet and say hello to the best coconut cake called …

Lamington cake

(don’t mind me. I treat cake as a human being…so saying hello is just normal communication in my life…)

Let me start with this … As a kid I was not able to say Lamington cake so I always called this cake coconut. My mum’s friends used to bring me this cake all the time. And they used to joke that I need to move to Australia or to be shipped there. So, yes since a very young age I knew two things about this cake:

It is from Australia and it has the name that I can’t say. Why is love so complicated? (my little soul was wondering)

Now, many years after and many cakes after I still think LAMINGTON IS THE ONE. My cake and my soul. But how about you my dear readers? How much do you know about this best cake from Australia? So, let me give you a quick introduction to this amazing chocolate coconut cake.

Lamington Australian Coconut cake-easy cake

DESCRIPTION OF LAMINGTON CAKE

It is the sponge cake coated in chocolate and rolled in desiccated coconut. The cake is moist, delicate and utterly delicious. So delicious that in Australia, July 21st is designated as National Lamington Day in which charity groups sell Lamingtons to raise money. (how amazing is that?)

The cake is served with tea in Australia or with coffee in Europe. This cake is also great gift for Christmas.

Also, some people use raspberry jam or plum jam as the filling for the cake. What do you think? Would you like to try it? Personally, I loved it but my favorite is still just plain Lamington cake with chocolate and coconut.

Question for YOU? Do you know what the word lamington means? The word lamington means layers of beaten gold. How poetic is that…layers of beaten gold. And you are eating that. You rich son of … cake. So, let’s make this golden cake or layers of beaten gold now.

Amish Oatmeal Best Pie-Red Mill Love

October 14, 2023October 20, 2020 by cookies

Amish Oatmeal Best pie – You must make this pie. MUST! This unbelievable pie is everything you dream pie to be. Soft and gooey, full of flavor and made with Red Mills gluten free oatmeal.

Hello from the best oatmeal recipe or Amish Oatmeal Pie. Yes, this post is all about oatmeal.

Originally it suppose to be about oatmeal cookies but this pie won my heart and I need it to share now. I like to think you need to make this pie as soon as possible. It will change your life.

Since our life now is so “never mind, I don’t want to talk about it”, this pie is the best solution for all of us.

Yes, we all need this pie in order to forget “real every day life”.

So, why I love this pie so much? What is so special about it?

Let me start with …

DESCRIPTION OF AMISH PIE

How about…

REMARKABLE

STRIKING

RICH

SUPER DELICIOUS

GOOEY

MOUTH-WATERING

Yes, this pie is homemade heaven. It starts with an unbaked pie shell. You know who has the best recipe for pie shell. 5 star cookies – Make 6 pies from one recipe or if you are on diet and you want only 3 CHECK THIS LINK!

Also, if you don’t like to make homemade pie crust you can use store-bought version. It is up to you but our recipe for pie crust is super easy to make. (and so cheap)

In case you are wondering why somebody would use oatmeal in pies I am going to answer to you. And in order to do that I have to go back, way back into 1800. (Hello 1800… I am so happy to escape 2020). BTW, not really. It was bad year too…but I have to give you an answer. (see below)

During the civil war pecans were so expensive and not easy to find. So what was the solution?…Oatmeal, yes people use oatmeal in order to create tasty desserts. And because of that we have the best Amish Oatmeal Pie which kind of taste like pecan pie. (kind of..)

Also, I have to admin I like Amish Pie way more than Pecan Pie…unless is boozy Pecan Pie.

Now, since you know so much about this 5 star Amish recipe we can move to the kitchen and make it happen. YES, we are ready for our baking show.

Like always our first step is getting ingredients or I like to call it…
