LC Pasta Flour
Anyone have experience with this product? Or any other suggestions of recipes or other products are also welcome.
My first batch was a real learning experience. They say you can use pasta machine but at first it was a disaster for me. They tell you the dough should be dry, but no details of what "dry" means. I have an old school real Italian hand crank pasta machine...that I have adapted to use a cordless drill with!
What I found is, just like any other pasta, you need "bench flour". A constant coating of flour to make it get through the pasta rolling and cutting process. Cutting spaghetti was not possible even then, but I did get some fettuccine to cut fairly well, which is good.
This is the closest to real pasta I have made so far but it never seems to get tender...its like permanently al dente. boiling longer didn't change this.
I'm making more tonight for a sort of "Swedish meatballs" meal. Should be good, but I was wondering if anyone had the same experience with these noodles never really softening up.
