Description

Learn how to make fusilli pasta at home in this fresh pasta tutorial. Cooking fusilli pasta is as easy as boiling it in water for two minutes. Come and have a look!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 300g (10 1/2 oz) '00 flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk

Instructions

  1. Heap the flour on a clean working surface.
  2. Create a well in the centre and place the eggs inside.
  3. Crack the eggs inside the well.
  4. Use a fork to beat the eggs then systematically incorporate the flour into the beaten eggs until a dough ball is formed.
  5. Knead the pasta dough for at least 10 minutes. You can use KitchenAid's dough hook to do the job! If the dough is too sticky, add a sprinkling of flour as needed in order to make it more manageable.
  6. Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  7. Install the Pasta Shape Press along with the Fusilli disc onto the KitchenAid stand mixer.
  8. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a long sausage and feed it into the accessory's tube.
  9. Once the fusilli starts coming out at the bottom, cut them off when they reach about 5cm (2in) in length, otherwise the weight stretches them out and they lose their shape.
  10. Prevent the shapes from touching each other, they tend to stick together! Arrange each shape onto a floured surface.
  11. Repeat the process until all the dough is used up.
  12. Let the pasta dry for at least 10 minutes or until the shapes' stickiness is gone and they can actually be piled together in a bowl.
  13. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil, then cook the pasta for 2 minutes or until al dente.
  14. Drain and serve with your favourite pesto or pasta sauce.

Notes

  • If you can't get hold of '00 flour, you can use 150g (5oz) all-purpose flour and 150g (5oz) semolina.
  • If semolina isn't available in your region, you can use just all-purpose flour. The results yielded will be slightly different from what the Italian donnas produce but still far better than the dried variety.
  • This recipe is for pasta dough. Shape-wise, it's up to you to decide what you want. You can cut some shapes by hand or use a KitchenAid Pasta Shape Press.
