Huevos Tripados Peruvian Tomatoes And Egg Noodles Recipes

POPPY SEED EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Crush 1 cup egg noodles and add to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Boil 1 pound egg noodles as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water; drain the noodles and return to the pot off the heat. Add 4 tablespoons butter, 2/3 cup crème fraîche, 2 tablespoons chopped chives, 2 teaspoons poppy seeds, 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Stir until creamy, adding more cooking water as needed. Season with salt. Top with the fried noodles.

BUTTERED EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 5 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water and then drain the noodles.
• Heat the reserved cooking water and butter together in the pot over medium-low heat, whisking, until smooth and warm. Add the noodles and toss well. Toss in the parsley and dill and season with salt and pepper.

WIDE EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• Place semolina in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine eggs, egg yolks, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and water, and pour into flour. Stir with a wooden spoon until the flour clumps together and forms a dry, firm ball.
• Knead 5 to 7 minutes, until smooth. Dough should be quite stiff. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside to rest 15 minutes. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Set 3 pieces aside, under cloth, and begin rolling fourth.
• First flatten by hand. Then, with pasta machine at widest setting, roll 3 times, folding in half lengthwise between turns. It should be smooth and wide as the rollers. Reduce setting, rolling dough through once at each, until you reach the next to the thinnest setting.
• Trim dough into 12-inch lengths, dust with flour, and cut with fettucine blade. Fluff strands to separate and set aside on floured trays. Repeat procedure with remaining 3 portions.
• To cook fresh noodles, bring about 3 gallons water to a rapid boil with 1 tablespoon salt. Cook pasta until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and serve. If making in advance, immediately transfer to a large bowl of iced water and chill. Drain and place in a plastic container. Toss with a tablespoon or two of olive oil and store in refrigerator until ready to use.
• Finished pasta can be reheated in a shallow pan, on top of stove. Combine with 1 tablespoon oil, 3 tablespoons water, or a scant 1/4 cup cream. Warm over moderate heat, adding 1/4 cup chopped parsley, shaking pan to avoid scorching.
