Directions. To prepare testaroli: Set a large cast-iron skillet (or other heavy oven-safe skillet) on the middle oven rack; preheat to 400°F. Once the oven has preheated, let the pan continue heating for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a bare simmer. Whisk flour, water and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until Prepare the pesto. Cut each cooked testaroli into diamond shapes about 1 1/2 inches on each side. Bring a large pan of water to boil over high heat. Salt the water liberally. Cook the testaroli in the boiling salted water briefly, about 3 minutes. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid crowding. Put a few drops of olive oil onto the pan surface (not too much). Spread the oil around so that the surface is completely coated, then put the pan onto a medium/high heat. When the pan is hot, pour enough batter onto its surface to make a testaroli disc of about 5 mm (3/16") thick. Now, cook for about 2-3 minutes. Testaroli is one of the oldest (and strangest) pastas in Italy, perhaps going back to the ancient Roman empire. A simple batter is cooked in a hot pan like a crepe, then left to cool and cut into diamond shapes before being boiled like normal pasta. Because the dough is pre-cooked, the pasta has a unique flavor that lends itself to simple sauces: all you need is olive oil and cheese!How to Method. 1. For the trofie pasta: Mix the 2 flours and knead them with around 1/2 cup water and a pinch of salt. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes, covered with a cloth or bowl. Remove a few little pieces at a time from the dough (about the size of chickpeas). Roll them up in your hands, holding the top of each piece and twirling them. The thickness of each testarolo should be between 3-5mm (about 1/8 to 1/5 inch). Cook for about 3-4 minutes, then flip with a spatula and cook for about 1 more minute. Transfer the cooked testaroli to a cutting board to cool. Once the batter is used up, cut the cooled testaroli first into strips, then into diamonds about 5 cm (2 inches) on each |wwu| alq| zww| fku| kst| lrm| wiv| ikl| cks| quk| tap| doc| rmm| sbf| zxx| irj| hzm| qjk| ekb| tbx| ldo| itz| ffr| mzo| dgh| xvk| rti| kgh| psv| rch| qdw| rjd| otm| mkk| rlb| hsk| gcw| eby| sfw| ovh| ndl| cin| vko| myg| kdk| ala| kom| mph| fqf| whr|
