Wide Noodles with Poppyseeds: Lasagne coi Semi
- Lasagne Dough, recipe follows
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 cup browned butter
- 2 tablespoons salt, for noodle water
- Montasio cheese, for grating
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, plus 5 yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Prepare the lasagne dough according to the recipe and cut into 1/2-inch strips.
- Cover with a damp towel until ready to cook.
- On a concave cutting board or in a mortar and pestle, combine the poppy seeds and sugar and crush with a mezzelune or pestle to make a sandy mixture.
- Place the mixture in a large bowl and add the browned butter.
- Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt.
- Add the pasta and cook until tender yet al dente, about 2 minutes.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the bowl with the butter mixture.
- Toss well to coat the noodles.
- Serve immediately with the Montasio grated over.
- Mound 3 1/2 cups of the flour in the center of a large wooden cutting board.
- Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the eggs and the olive oil.
- Using a fork, beat together the eggs and oil and begin to incorporate the flour, starting with the inner rim of the well.
- As you expand the well, keep pushing the flour up from the base of the mound to retain the well shape.
- The dough will come together when half of the flour is incorporated.
- Start kneading the dough with both hands, using the palms of your hands.
- Once you have a cohesive mass, remove the dough from the board and scrape up and discard any leftover bits.
- Lightly reflour the board and continue kneading for 6 more minutes.
- The dough should be elastic and a little sticky.
- Wrap the dough in plastic and allow to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Roll or shape as desired.
