CHEAT'S HOMEMADE PAPPARDELLE WITH QUICK TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and add a good few lugs of olive oil. When the oil's hot, add the garlic and chilli and fry until lightly coloured.
• Drop in most of the basil - stand back as it will crackle and spit in the oil - and then, after a few seconds, add the tomatoes. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 5 minutes. You'll end up with a chunky sauce - if you like it smoother, pass the sauce through a coarse sieve. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. On a lightly floured work surface, cut the lasagne sheets into strips with a knife or a pastry wheel. When the water is at a rolling boil, add the pasta and cook for a few minutes until just al dente.
• Drain the pasta strips in a colander, reserving a little of the cooking water.
• Stir the pasta into the warm sauce. If it's a bit thick, add a few spoonfuls of the cooking water to loosen it up. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and the reserved basil leaves and serve immediately.

PAPPARDELLE IN FRESH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Place a pot with water for the pasta on the stove. When the water starts boiling, cook the pasta according the the package instructions. Fresh pasta has a reduced cooking time and you may perform this step a little later.
• Chop the onions and garlic. Next remove the stalk from the tomatoes and cut them into medium small dices. This is a quick tomato sauce with a chunky consistency. Therefore, I don't remove the skin. Keep all ingredients separately.
• Heat some olive oil in a large deep pan on medium high heat. When the pan is hot, add the onions and glaze them until translucent.
• Add the garlic and paprika powder and stir for another 1-2 minutes. make sure the garlic does not turn brown or it become slightly bitter.
• Give the diced tomatoes into the pan and simmer for roughly 10 minutes until the tomatoes start to fall apart when you squish them with the cooking spoon. Reduce heat if required to avoid excessive water evaporation.
• Add salt, pepper and sugar and stir. Lastly, add the pasta to the pan and mix well with the sauce.

RECIPE: FRESH PAPPARDELLE WITH ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the pasta dough: In a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine all of the dough ingredients. Mix on medium speed until a dough begins to form, then transfer to a clean work surface. Knead the dough until it fully comes together, then wrap in plastic wrap and rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the roasted tomato sauce: Preheat the oven to 400 F. Spread 2 tablespoons of the olive oil onto a baking sheet. Lay the sliced onions on the sheet, then top with the garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Lay the tomatoes over the seasoned onions, face-side down. Pour the remaining olive oil over the top of the mixture and season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to the oven and cook until the vegetables are tender and lightly golden, 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. When cool enough to handle, remove the skins from the tomatoes and discard, then transfer the contents of the tray to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse the mixture until a chunky sauce comes together, then season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large skillet and set aside.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll the pasta dough into a rectangle, so it is thin and narrow enough to fit through the widest setting on your pasta roller. Sprinkle the dough with more all-purpose flour and begin to roll out. Gradually make the roller thinner until the pasta sheets are ⅛ inch thick. Using a knife, cut the dough into 10-by-1-inch strips of pasta.
• Assemble the pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then season with salt. Cook the pasta until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving ¼ cup of the cooking liquid.
• Bring the large skillet of tomato sauce to a light simmer, then add the drained pasta and reserved cooking liquid. Toss until incorporated, then season with salt and pepper. Divide between plates, garnish with basil leaves and freshly grated Parmesan, and serve.
