Spastic Blogtastic Motion.

Cherrished bloggers. My recent laps in posting has been a result of: Sudden rapid onset of "Spastic Blogtastic Motionitis". Or more commonly known as Spac Blog.... What I wanted to do was post a ".doc" file but Blogspot doesn't allow that. So because of my Spac Blog condition, it was not possible to over come this obstical.
Here is an alternate recipe:
Tomato & Basil Pasta.
Ingredence (Fresh pasta):
200g plain flour.
2 (free range) fresh eggs.
Olive oil.
Salt.
Pepper.
Water.
Ingredence (Sauce):
400g diced Roma tomatos.
4 cloves garlic.
1/2 cup fresh Basil.
1 brown onion.
Salt.
Pepper.
Olive oil.
Method:
To make fresh pasta it is easyer to use a pasta machine. But if you don't have one you can feel more authentic as you work up a sweat..
Work beaten eggs and olive oil into flour so as to make a dough. Add salt and a little water if it's a little stiff. Add more flour if dough is to sticky. Kneed dough untill it is smooth in texture, and springing back when poked with a finger. Shape into a ball, dust with flour, wrap in plastic wrap, set aside...
When you are ready to cook the sause, roll out and cut the pasta. I think something like Fettucine would be good. Fresh pasta dosen't take long to cook. Try to time it so the sauce has just finished cooking by the time the pasta is ready.
The sause should be made in a thick based frying pan. This is a simple dish relying on fresh flavors. Don't ruin it by over cooking. The Idea behind this increadible dish is fresh flavors that can be distinguished from one another, yet combine to form an unforgettable flavor. Over cooking will tend to blend and soften the taste. (You don't want this). If you get it right : Authentic Italia.....
Fry onions gently in a little olive oil. When soft add finely choped garlic. Fry for one minute then add tomatos, brining to the boil, then simmer for two minutes. Remove from heat, add roughly choped Basil, season to taste. Place lid on pan and keep warm.
Drain pasta. Toss through sauce. Garnish with fresh choped parsley, and fresh greated parmesen cheese. Serves 3 to 4 people.
