Father's Day Dinner

At my husband's request I'm going to be making fresh pasta & a quick marinara...

Here are the recipes:

Pasta (thank you Lidia Matticchio's "Rich Man Pasta")

2C- Flour
9 Yolks (or 2/3C)
2T- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2T- Water

I basically do a slow kneed, plastic wrap it until I'm ready to use it-- bring it back up to room temperature & pass it through the pasta machine...


Marinara (mine)
I'm going to use extra virgin olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan (2T?), about 4 big cloves of garlic (minced).. I'm just going to sweat them before they start to brown &then add Tutterosso tomato sauce. I'll add some salt, pepper, fresh basil leaves (chopped), and some oregano... If I really feel fancy I'll throw in some marjoram... That gets stirred a bit so the herbs & garlic sort of settle into the tomato sauce. I'm actually NOT even going to be using a whole can-- because the pasta comes out so delicate, it doesn't even need sauce! A little butter and grated cheese are excellent on that pasta...
