Modern Redaction
Ingredients:
For the dough:
5 eggs
4 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp salt
700g flour
450g grated cheese
100g melted butter
Method:
To make the egg pasta dough put the flour in a bowl, make a well in the middle and add the beaten eggs, salt and melted butter. Mix with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together then use your hands for the final mixing. Tip the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about five minutes. Cut into about ten pieces, roll out roughly then pass through a pasta machine at least six times, until the dough becomes elastic. Use the pasta machine to thin the dough then cut into strips. Place the raw pasta in a pan of boiling water and cook for about two to three minutes, until done.
Remove the pasta from the water and in a pre-warmed bowl add a layer of pasta to the base. Spoon some of the melted butter over the top and add a layer of cheese. Continue alternating pasta, butter and cheese until you finish the dish with a final layer of pasta on the top. Serve immediately
