Ingredients

  • 1 lb all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 7 egg yolks
  • 1.5 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 pint of assorted colored cherry tomatoes sliced in half
  • .25 cups Kalamata olives sliced in half
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cups chicken stock
  • 12 to 15 fresh basil leaves
  • 1 cups Ricotta cheese
  • 1 lemon for zest and juice
  • Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Noodles: Place the flour on a clean surface and form a well. Pour the eggs into the center of the well and using a fork slowly begins to incorporate some of the flour into the eggs. Note: The egg yolks should be breaking up as well.
  • Once it is combined knead the dough with the palm of your hand to incorporate everything. If it seems overly dry add a few drops of water or if it is too wet than simply add a bit more flour.
  • Form it to a ball and place it in a plastic bag and let it sit at room temperature for 45 minutes.
  • Next, place the dough on a floured surface and split the dough into 3 balls and then slightly roll them out.
  • Run each rolled out ball 3 times on level 1 of the KitchenAid lasagna attachment, but do not exceed. For a thinner noodle run it on level 2.
  • Once the dough has been run through, flour both sides, cut it in half width wise and roll it up. Slice ¾” inch to 1 inch wide noodles, roll back out, flour, and place in a small pile. Repeat until the dough has been used.
  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until they float for 2 minutes.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the ricotta, lemon juice and lemon zest and keep cool.
  • Pasta: In a large sauté pan with olive oil on high heat sauté the tomatoes and Kalamata olives for 2 to 4 minutes and then add the chicken stock and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Next, toss in the cooked papparadelle pasta and season with salt and pepper.
  • To Serve: Pour the pasta in a bowl and place on the fresh basil leaves, and a dollop of the lemon ricotta. Enjoy!
