Ingredients

  • 1.75 cups flour, sifted
  • .5 tsp Kosher salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp squid ink
  • water as needed
  • 1 oz unsalted butter
  • .5 cups broccolini florets
  • 1 cups assorted cherry tomatoes, ½ cut in ½)
  • 2 oz smoked salmon, cut into 2" squares and rolled up
  • 1.5 tbsp fresh dill leaves
  • Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the flour and salt to a clean cutting board and using your hands make a well by pushing the flour with the backside of your hand from the inside out.
  • Next, add the eggs and squid ink to the center of the well and whisk them with a fork until combined.
  • Gradually add the flour to the center of the well with the fork while continuing to whisk until it is combined. Optional: Use a bench knife to scrape the cutting board to make sure and get all of the flour and eggs.
  • With your hands, knead the dough for 5 to 7 minutes. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Next, divide the dough into 3 chunks and dust each with flour on both sides. Gently roll the dough to slightly flatten them so they will be able to fit into the Marcato pasta roller.
  • Set the pasta roller to 0 and using the crank feed the dough through it. Dust with flour and fold the outer 1/3’s of the dough in and run through the roller again. Dust again but do not fold.
  • Change the roller setting to 6 and again feed the flattened dough through. Note: it will become a long flat pasta dough so be sure to have enough room to set it on a clean dusted surface.
  • Cut the dough into 3 parts using a knife.
  • Add the linguine attachment and feed each cut rolled out dough 1 at a time until all 3 have been made into linguine pasta.
  • Hang the pasta on a drying rack for 30 to 45 minutes or until it has slightly dried out.
  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water for 3 to 4 minutes or until al dente, or slightly crunchy. Keep warm.
  • In a medium size saute pan over medium heat, add in the butter and cook the broccoli florets for 2 to 3 minutes. Next, add in the tomatoes and cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
  • Add the lightly cooked tomatoes and broccolini to the top of the squid ink pasta, along with the salmon squares and dill.
