Serves: 10 portions

Time: 2 hours

Egg Pasta

Yields 550-600 grams of dough

Ingredients

• 300 grams 00 Flour
• 11 egg yolks + 1 whole egg

Ragu

Yield: 1 qt

Ingredients

• 1 eggplant
• 12 oz mushrooms
• 1 yellow onion
• 2 tbsp. tomato paste
• 4 oz sun-dried tomatoes: sliced thin
• 2 qts bone broth
• 1 bundle thyme
• 4 sprigs of rosemary
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 16 oz red wine

Instructions

1. To make the pasta, place flour in bowl, create well in the middle of the flour, and add eggs inside the well. Take a fork and whisk eggs into flour. Once it comes together, pour onto clean work surface and knead by hand for 5 minutes. Wrap and rest for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized pot, heat oil over medium heat and add garlic, thyme, rosemary, and onions to start the ragu. Stir to combine, then add sun-dried tomatoes.
3. Add tomato paste, mix well, and brown tomato paste for about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, and eggplant. Once soft, add red wine and reduce. Add bone broth and cook on low for about an hour.
4. Once the pasta has rested for 30 minutes, roll out and cut into strips. Make sure to flour the cut dough well so that the pasta does not stick to each other.
5. Boil pasta for 2-3 minutes, checking the pasta at 1-minute intervals until you reach desired consistency. Remember, fresh pasta cooks much quicker than dried pasta!
6. Gently remove the pasta from the water with tongs and toss with your ragu.
