Homemade Farfalle, Meatballs and Fresh Tomatoes
- 1 cup '00' flour
- 1 cup semolina
- 2 large eggs
- 1 lb ground Aberdeen Angus beef
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 8 fresh ripe tomatoes
- Mix the meatball ingredients (except the tomatoes) in a large bowl with hands until well combined.
- Roll into small balls and place on an oiled baking sheet.
- Put them in the fridge to chill.
- Set oven to 220 C.
- Make the farfalle: Put the flour and semolina on a table or large work surface, make a well in the centre and crack an egg in.
- Use your fingers to break the yolks, then move them in a circular movement to incorporate the egg into the flour.
- Form into a ball.
- If the dough is too dry, add a little water.
- Knead it for ten minutes.
- If it is still too dry (the semolina absorbs water fast) wet your hand and continue to knead.
- Put the dough into a bag, or cover it with plastic wrap, and leave it to rest for twenty minutes.
- Cook the meatballs in the oven for 25 minutes.
- Put a pot of water on to boil, with a very good pinch of salt in it
- Cut the pasta dough into four pieces.
- Roll each one very thin, trim to a rectangle then cut into rectangles of one by one and a half inches.
- Take each small rectangle and pinch it hard in the middle to create the bowtie shape.
- Put them in the bag you used to rest the dough.
- Then repeat with the rest of the dough.
- Skin tomatoes by immersing them in boiling water for one minute, draining, then pulling their skins off.
- Chop them roughly.
- Put tomatoes into a large saucepan, set on a medium heat.
- When the other pot is boiling add the pasta, cook for two minutes.
- Combine the meatballs and drained pasta in the pot with the tomatoes.
- Season to taste.
