Chestnut Pasta Party for One
It’s a rainy night here in New York City. I hurried home and realized I had nothing for dinner. …Or did I?
Hiding in the freezer was some chestnut pasta dough. Several weeks ago, I made chestnut flour pappardelle for dinner, but the batch was too big for that evening. In Italy, I learned that fresh pasta dough can be frozen with no ill effects, so we froze it.
Fast forward to tonight:
Easy Pasta Ratio Rules:
For every one egg, use 100g of flour.
Also, one egg = one portion.
So if you have 10 people coming over for dinner, use 10 eggs and 1kg of flour.
If you want to use chestnut flour like I did for tonight’s fettuccini, use 50/50 chestnut flour and Tipo 0 pasta flour.
Thanks to the boys in the Villa Campestri Restaurant in Vicchio di Mugello for all the pasta knowledge. Grazie infinite Jerry e Samuele!
eat. write. smile. 
Di niente…spero che tutti abbiano gradito questa fantastica pasta!!!Un bacio e un abbraccio Sam
