Squid Ink Linguine

Squid ink linguine. 



It's clear to see that pasta is flavour of the month with me, so I'll give you a quick recipe. 

550g Tipo 00 flour
4 Eggs
5 Egg yolks
5 Packets squid ink
15ml Olive oil
Salt

This one needs to be a little drier than the ravioli pasta sheets so don't be shy when dusting it while rolling it. 

For anyone thats not made it before, place the flour on the bench and make a well in the middle. Mix the eggs, olive oil & squid ink together and place in the well. Sprinkle with salt and start to mix the flour into the egg mix with a fork. It'll start to come together into a really short dough. Start to kneed together and work for a few mintues. Once all the flour is incorporated, chlingfilm and place in the fridge for 30 minutes. 

Set up the pasta machine and start to roll out the dough, one click at a time. The dough must go through each click twice before altering the setting. Once thin enough, roll through the linguine attachment. Dry and use when ready, preferably on the day you make it. Or freeze it and use it from frozen.
