0.3 oz Vanilla

9 oz AP Flour

14 oz Eggs (about 7 extra large)

Note: Whole Milk, 2% or even Skim will work. You may also use water or 1/2 water 1/2 milk. Water makes a lighter colored crisper pastry. Milk makes a darker colored slightly softer pastry (this is my preference).

Grated Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese to finish

Recipe:

16 oz Semolina Flour

8 oz Warm Water

That’s it!

In this order…

• 4 oz Bacon
• 6 oz Onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 16 oz Sherry
• 32 oz Chicken Stock (hot)
• 12 oz Dry Orecchiette,
• 4 oz Frozen Peas (or fresh)
• 1 oz butter

. **Use any short dry pasta to do this**.

Crisp up the bacon, saute the onion and garlic, reduce the sherry by half.., add the raw pasta, add hot stock to just cover, let it reduce about half way, then add more stock until the pasta is cooked to the texture you like (just like risotto), Stir in butter and peas off the heat. I’m going to shoot a video in the next day or two on how to make the orecchiette, just semolina flour and water.
