Recipe for Making Italian Pasta

Step 1: Making fresh pasta

Crack eggs into a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, whisk until well combined. Gradually sift flour into the mixture, stir well.

Knead the dough thoroughly for about 15 minutes until it becomes smooth, then shape it into a round ball. You can dust the dough with dry flour on your hands to prevent sticking.

Place the dough in a bowl (you can sprinkle a layer of dry flour underneath to prevent sticking), dust flour on the dough's surface, and cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for about 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, take out the dough, roll it thinly, sift plenty of flour on both sides of the rolled dough, and use a specialized round knife to cut strands (you can fold the dough into many strands and cut with a regular knife). Finally, the noodles are ready.

Boil a large amount of water in a big pot, wait until the water is boiling, add the just-made noodles, season with salt, stir several times to prevent the noodles from sticking together, wait until the water boils again, then check if the noodles are cooked.

Scoop out the cooked noodles into a colander, let them drain, and remember to rinse the noodles so that they separate easily.

Step 2: Make Tomato Sauce for Mixing with Noodles

Peel tomatoes by making a cross-shaped incision at the bottom, soak in hot water for 10 minutes, then remove and peel with a sharp knife. Cut into pomegranate-like seeds. Similarly, dice the onions.

To make beef and tomato sauce for noodles, sauté garlic until fragrant, add beef and stir-fry until browned. Season with salt, soy sauce to taste, and pour onto a plate.

Sauté garlic again, add onions and tomatoes, simmer, season to taste. You can cook the sauce slightly salty for a perfect mix with the noodles later. Pour the beef into the tomato sauce, add a little fresh milk for a sweet aroma, and simmer until the sauce thickens.

Now, heat oil in a pan, toss the drained noodles, transfer to a plate, pour the sauce over the top, and enjoy it hot.
