Form a ball with the dough and knead for a few minutes on a lightly floured board.It will become smooth and hard(much harder than bread dough).In a few minutes,the dough should look satiny and smooth.Wrap it in plastic and let rest for about 30 minutes. Then roll out the dough through a pasta roller or by hand.Sprinkle additional flour on the dough as needed to prevent sticking.The dough is quite forgiving and can be handled easily. When the rolled-out pasta sheet feels dry,not sticky,cut into noodles by hand or with the machine. If you have a pasta drying rack,hang the cut pasta on the rack.If not,wrap the noodles around your hand to form a nest and set it on a lightly floured board.Toss with flour on occasion to allow the pasta to dry evenly. Fresh pasta cooks quickly.Add it to boiling water and test a strand every 15 seconds until done. Sometimes,I vary this recipe by adding 1 1/2 tsp. of olive oil and up to 1 tbsp. of a flavoring ingredient,such as minced fresh herbs or garlic,tomato paste or pureed beets. Keeping the same proportions of 1 egg to 3/4 cup flour,the recipe can be multiplied as many times as needed.A 1 egg recipe will feed 1 or 2 people for a main course;a 2 egg recipe feeds 2 to 3.An average size food processor will handle a 3 egg recipe easily.If you need to make more,it is a good idea to make several batches. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.04 Title: EXTRA CHEESE LASAGNE Categories: Italian, Vegetarian Servings: 6 2 Egg pasta recipe(above) 4 c Seasoned Italian tomato 1 lb Ricotta cheese Sauce 2 cl Garlic, minced 2 c Grated provolone cheese 10 oz Frozen chopped spinach, 2 c Grated mozzarella Thawed and drained 1 c Freshly grated Parmesan 1 Egg Cheese 1 ts Salt Prepare the pasta dough according to recipe directions.Cut into strips about 13" long and 3" wide.You will need to gather all the trimmed scraps and reroll the dough to make enough noodles.This recipe should work out exactly if you roll your dough thin. Combine the ricotta,garlic,spinach,egg and salt.Mix well by hand or in food processor. To assemble the lasagne,pour a little bit of sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13" baking dish.Cover with a layer of noodles,then layer of sauce.Sprinkle a layer of provolone,a layer of mozzarella,then a layer of Parmesan.Cover with a layer of noodles,then sauce,then the ricotta cheese mixture.Top with a layer of noodles,sauce and the grated cheeses. Finish with a layer of noodles,sauce and grated cheese. Cover the lasagne lightly(if you are using aluminum foil,make a tent with the foil so it doesn't touch the top of the lasagne). Bake for 1 hour @ 350 degrees.Remove the cover and bake for an additional 30 minutes.Allow the lasagne to set 10 minutes before serving.This lasagne will be quite firm and can be served in tidy- looking squares.Serves 6 generously. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.04 Title: CHICKEN-BROCCOLI PIE Categories: Chicken, Pies Servings: 8 3 c Shredded Cheddar cheese Drained (12 oz.) 1 1/3 c Milk 1 1/2 c Cut-up cooked chicken 3 Eggs 2/3 c Finely chopped onion 3/4 c Bisquick baking mix 1 pk (10 oz) frozen chopped 1/4 ts Pepper Broccoli, thawed and 1/8 ts Dried thyme leaves Heat oven to 400 degrees.Mix 2 cups of the cheese,chicken,onion and broccoli in greased pie plate,10 x 1 1/2".

Chicken breasts, Zucchini in Romaine Leaves dash cayenne pepper Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; flatten to about 1/4"; set aside. Place romaine leaves on a 10" round micro proof platter. Cover tightly with vented plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH 35-50 seconds or until pliable. Place a chicken breast half on each leaf, sprinkle with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Divide zucchini strips into 4 bunches and place at the top of each chicken breast.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk eggs slightly. Add remaining ingredients to bowl, including scallions, stirring to mix with a large heavy spoon. NOTE: When adding spinach, try to break it up as you add it, mixing will be much easier. Cook pre-packaged Manicotti shells following package directions, only UNDERcook them by about 2 minutes. (Undercooking will make them less likely to break, and they will absorb any excess moisture released by the cheeses during baking.) Stuff manicotti carefully with filling.

I thought y'all might like this praline recipe, as I haven't seen one on here. PRALINES 1. Combine all ingredients except vanilla and bring to a boil. (Note: To roast pecans, bake them on a sheet pan at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until slightly browned and smell permeates.) 2. Cook to soft ball stage (238-240 degrees), stirring constantly. 3. Remove from heat, and add vanilla. Stir to cool until mixture thickens, becomes creamy and cloudy, and pecans stay suspended in mixture. 4. Spoon out on buttered wax paper, aluminum foil or parchment paper. Makes 1-50 (!!) pralines, depending on size. When using wax paper, be sure to buffer with newspaper, as hot wax will transfer onto whatever is beneath it. He also gave me a history of Pralines if anyone is interested. P.S. The New Orleans School of Cooking is a great place for visitors to go. Joe Cahn conducts a great cooking class (classics like bread pudding, gumbo, jambalaya, etc) which includes a lot of his humor. You then get to eat what he cooked.

Even this transplanted Yankee has had good luck with it. Sausage & Pork Jambalaya Brown the pork in a large pot with a small amount of water on the bottom to prevent sticking. Cover, stir occasionally. Add Onions, and continue to saute. When onions are transparent, add sausage, and continue to saute. When the meats are cooked, add the brown gravy and cook a few more minutes. Add the water -- You need to add an *equal* amount of water as you are using rice. 5 Cups, in this case. (Usually the rice is measured by the pound, in which case you would pour into a bowl and add that amount of water). Allow the water to heat, then turn off the heat and cover. Allow the grease to rise to the top. Skim off the grease with a large spoon. Conserve the grease. After skimming the grease, add an amount of water equal to the amount of grease to replace the liquid lost. Bring to almost boiling, and add your seasonings. You can use whatever seasonings you want, but the key is that it should be saltier and hotter now than you want the finished product. Heat the spices a few minutes, and taste. Add more spices until you are happy with the outcome. At this point you can add the shallots. (We save the greens until now, since they float, and they would be in the way of tasting the spices). One optional step is to add a small amount of Kitchen Bouquet to give the Jambalaya a rich brown color. Bring to a rolling boil. Add the rice all at once and stir. Continue with high heat and stirring often until the mixture becomes milky with the rice. Reduce the heat slightly, and cover. Now you only want to open and stir the rice occasionally, as the rice is steaming. When removing the cover, do not allow the water to drip back into the pot. Wipe the lid before returning the lid to the pot. Stir quickly, but be sure to scrape the bottom to prevent sticking. This is really the tricky part... As the liquid drys up, you need to reduce the heat even further and allow the rice to finish steaming. Stir every few minutes, scraping bottom. The Jambalaya is finished when the rice is tender and "done." This recipe can be increased or reduced proportionally. The first time I made it I used 2 pounds of rice. The second time used 35 pounds! ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.04 Title: BREAD PUDDING & WHISKEY SAUCE Categories: Breads, Sauces Servings: 16 1 10-oz. loaf stale French 2 tb Vanilla Bread, crumbled (or 6-8 1 c Raisins Cups any type bread) 1 c Coconut 4 c Milk 1 c Chopped Pecans 2 c Sugar 1 ts Cinnamon 8 tb Butter, melted 1 ts Nutmeg 3 Eggs -------------------------------WHISKEY SAUCE------------------------------- 1/2 c Butter (1 stick) 1/2 c Bourbon (to taste) 1 1/2 c Powdered Sugar (or Rum!!) 2 Egg Yolks Contributed to the echo by: Michelle Bass BREAD PUDDING Combine all ingredients; mixture should be very moist but not soupy.
