Pasta
1 cup semolina flour
3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon water
DIRECTIONS
place first 5 ingredients in the bowl of a food processor using the metal blade.
pulse food processor until dough takes on a corn-meal type texture.
SLOWLY drizzle water while processor is running until dough forms a ball (sometimes we don't even need any water, so watch your dough closely).
Remove dough to a lightly floured surface and roll out to desired thickness.
Or use a pasta machine if you have one to form the noodles. Use the widest setting for 6 cycles, lightly flour the surfaces of the pasta if they become sticky. Continue using 1 cycle per setting until dough is to desired thickness.
Let sheets sit for 15 minutes prior to using your preferred cutting technique.
Chicken meat balls
1 pound ground chicken
1 egg, whisked
1/2 cup Planko crumbs
1/3 cup minced onion
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
In a large bowl, gently mix the chicken, onion, egg, bread crumbs, oregano. Form into mini meatballs, slightly smaller than a golf ball; it should make 28 to 30 meatballs. I use small cookie scoop.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
