Fresh Pasta / fazzoletti Di Seta Al Pomodoro

Handcar chief pasta with tomato sauce, so nice and simple food, its always nice to embrace simple dishes like these and let the ingredients develop in to their full flavors. 

Just got my self a pasta machine so i was super happy to try it out.

This is what you need and how to do it:

Spelt  - 5 dl (i really enjoy spelt, but use 00 flour or wheat if you like that better)

Egg - 3

Salt

Garlic

Fresh Rosmay

Olive Oil

Salt

2 or 3 caned whole tomatoes of the best quality you can find

Put the flour in a bowl, create a dimple in the center of the flour. Crack the eggs in the dimple and whisk even and then start working from the center and out combining the egg and flour. When it has blended quite well, kneed it with your hands until you get a smooth and elastic dough.

Wrap it in plastic foil and let it rest for 30 minutes

Chopp 4 medium sized cloves of garlic and a spring of thyme, add it to a heated pan with olive oil (medium heat) and let it soften for about 5-10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and let it simmer at least 30 minutes ( that will be about the time you have your pasta ready)

Unwrap the dough, cut it in 4-6 pieces and work it to about 2 mm thin pasta sheets, cut them in squares about 6 x 6 cm.

Add them to a big pot of boiling and salted water and let them cook for 3 minutes.

Serve immediately with the tomato sauce, mozzarella, pecorino or parmesan.
