Questions about making fresh pasta?

I made my first pasta was kind of cool and wet .. so I made a mistake (I think), because only after five minutes of resting the dough, put the dough through the machine and dropped into the boiling water. Then only after a few seconds (as I read the recipes) I took it out, cooked with the sauce for a minute. I used all organic flour purp — the texture is always better if I use semolina flour? and where I can find them?, I read good pastas also only consist of flour, salt and eggs. But most of the recipes that I have read of wastewater. I can rest mass of more than 30 minutes? or two hours? Once the pasta is cooked, do you still cook with the sauce? thanks!

pasta Ahhh! Well, one point at a time. … First wheat flour is good for making pasta. It is too heavy, and no gluten. Need a finely ground flour … often called 00 …. also Use bread flour. It has more gluten in it than regular flour, which is especially important for making pasta at home. Semolina and hard, refer to type of wheat flour is made of ….. is not absolutely necessary to use a meal, it's just that it has a high gluten content …. well, bread flour (which is less costly that Italian flour, flour, semolina, etc) … Second, the water? No. I've done it many times the pasta … and while its definitely something that requires practice do, I never used the water. I used the extra egg yolks (which makes a paste with a richer color goldenish), I put herbs in it, but never water. Here is my recipe if you like … 3 1 / 3 cups flour 4 eggs good pinch of sea salt Make mound of flour, out of a hole in the middle. Pour the eggs into the hole, add salt, and the work of the eggs and flour together until a smooth dough. Knead the dough for ten or fifteen minutes, until soft, strong and highly elastic (that is why you need more gluten … Also, do not short on love … if the gluten does not form properly and tears when you run through your machine) Now, divide the dough in half. ** Flour your work surface, and extend, starting from the center and rolling up the edges. ** (You can omit this if you are using a machine) Cook the pasta in salted, boiling water. Since it is fresh, cooked in three to five minutes. Three, you do not have to let it rest! Its not going to go up, so I really does not need a rest period. Four, the only "cooking" that has to do with the sauce is in a minute … no more than that. Your sauce should be as hot. Take the pot from the stove, add the pasta, stir it around and serve. … Five wonderful organic flour, just remember that the use of bread flour. Hope this helps!
