Pasta cooking tips...

 

 

 

 



 

  • Don't waste your time or money putting oil in boiling water. Oil and water don't mix!
  • Make sure that you use enough water to boil pasta. (3-4 quarts)
  • Do not salt water until boiling or it will stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Cooking fresh pasta (Aldente) - boil 3 minutes or until pasta floats.
  • Freezing fresh pasta -
    Lay pasta on sheet pan and lightly flour all sides. Store in zip lock bags in freezer up to 2 weeks.

Chef Sam's Recipe of the Month:


Pumpkin Ravioli
with Sage Brown Butter Sauce

Chef Sam  is not only self taught, but creates signature dishes with a “new-school” Italian flavor that are beautifully displayed and memorably delicious! See some of his signature dishes here.

Dough: Procedure for ravioli:
Use well method or KitchenAid mixer to mix ingredients to make dough. Roll into ball (firm) and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Mix filling ingredients in a bowl and set aside until dough is set.

After 1 hour, roll out dough thin or use a KitchenAid pasta maker on the #7 setting, or second to the last thin setting.

To make ravioli using a pasta board: Lay pasta strip on board. Place 1 tsp filling for each ravioli, cover with another paste strip, roll it and cut up raviolis.

To make ravioli by hand:
Lay out pasta strip and put a tsp of filling every 4 inches. Lay another sheet over the top, wash edges with egg wash, remove air from around filling and cut into squares.
See tips for cooking pasta above

Procedure for sauce:
Heat butter over medium heat until brown. Add chopped sage leaves. Remove from heat and toss in cooked ravioli in same pan. Top with grated parmesan cheese, plate and serve.

1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup semolina
2 lg eggs
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp oil
Filling:
1 canned pumpkin - 20oz.
1/8 cup grated cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
pinch of salt
VERY small pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

2 sage leaves chopped
