Easy Noodles Food Processor Recipes

HOMEMADE PASTA IN A FOOD PROCESSOR

Steps:

• Place flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade and pulse to combine.
• With the machine running, add eggs one at a time and blend after each addition. Add olive oil and process until dough looks like a coarse meal that comes together when pressed into a ball, about 10 seconds. Do not over-process. If the dough seems excessively sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, processing just until incorporated.
• Lightly dust work surface and hands with flour. Turn dough out of food processor and knead until elastic and smooth, and no longer sticky, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Shape dough into a disk and cover with plastic wrap or an overturned bowl. Let rest for at least 1 hour at room temperature (or up to 1 day in refrigerator) before rolling. If the dough has been refrigerated, let stand at room temperature for about an hour before rolling and shaping.
• Cut the dough into 6 to 8 pieces. Flatten it into small rectangles to fit through a pasta machine.
• Keeping the dough lightly floured, roll the pieces through a pasta machine set at its widest opening. Keep rolling pasta through machine as progressively narrower settings, forming strips.
• Lay pasta strips on a lightly floured surface and keep covered with towels. One at a time, fold strips into a flat roll and slice crosswise into ribbons. Unfurl ribbons and transfer to a floured baking sheet. Slice lengthwise into long ribbons, about 1 1/2 inches wide, using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
• Cook pasta in boiling salted water for 2 to 4 minutes, until al dente. Drain and serve immediately.

~ EASY NOODLES ~ FOOD PROCESSOR

Steps:

• 1. Place flour, salt and baking powder into processor bowl. Pulse a few times to mix. Mix eggs with milk and as you pour into flour mixture, pulse just until forms a ball. I then form into two separate balls and roll onto a floured surface. Let the dough rest for 15 - 20 minutes.
• 2. I use my pizza cutter to cut the noodles, use whatever works for you as they don't have to be perfect. Cut as narrow or wide as you like. Then as you lift the noodles from the surface toss with some flour to keep from sticking.
• 3. Let the noodles dry for a few hours You can now freeze them or cook them in your favorite well seasoned soup broth for 10 - 15 minutes or until desired tenderness.
• 4. I added some chicken to my broth! Yum!!!

FRESH PASTA DOUGH (FOOD PROCESSOR)

Steps:

• Combine flour, eggs, olive oil, salt and pepper in the b owl of a food processor. Whirl in short bursts until dough comes together, about 15 seconds.
• If dough appears too dry, add a few drops cold water. If too wet, add flour.
• Turn out onto a wooden board and gently knead together until smooth and elastic. Rub with oil and wrap in plastic. Set aside on counter surface to rest for at least 30 minutes. Dough can be chilled overnight and rolled out just before you wish to cook and serve.
• To roll out, follow manufacturer's directions from pasta machine.
• To cook, toss pasta into 4 quarts of boiling salted water. Stir once or twice and boil uncovered until al dente. Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the pasta but will require less time than dried pasta. Drain and return to pan. Immediately serve or toss with sauce.
