Ingredients
- 2 cups high gluten flour (or bread flour)
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon salt
- butter (or olive oil), for cooking
- 4 oz. kefalotyri, grated
- 4 oz. mizithra, grated
- pepper , freshly ground
Equipment
- Stand mixer
Instructions
Pasta
- Add the flour into the bowl of a stand mixer and attach the dough hook.
- Start at low speed then gradually pour in the water and mix, while increasing the speed
- When the dough is wrapped around the dough hook, the dough is ready.
- Stop the stand mixer to test the dough with the fingers: if it is sticky, add a little flour.
- Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for an hour at room temperature.
- Cut the dough into small pieces and form long rolls only a little thicker than a finger.
- Cut the rolls into several pieces, about 1 inch (2,5 cm) wide.
- Press on them with the index and middle fingers to flatten them and move the fingers so that the dough goes all around, forming a dough in the shape of an elongated shell. Place them on a well floured surface.
- At this point in the recipe, either cook them or let them dry.
Cooking
- Heat a large amount of salted water in a large saucepan.
- Add the pasta and cook for 25 minutes, stirring regularly so that they do not stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Turn off the heat and let them sit in the boiling water for 5 more minutes.
- Drain the pasta.
- Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil or 4 tablespoons (50 g) of butter (or more, depending on taste) in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.
- Add the cheeses and stir until they turn golden, making sure they do not burn.
- Finally add the pasta, pepper and mix well and serve hot.
Notes
- Pecorino or Parmigiano can be substituted for kefalotyri.
- Feta can be substituted for mizithra.
