HOW TO USE KITCHEN TOOLS TO MAKE FRESH PASTA

[ezcol_1fifth] [/ezcol_1fifth] [ezcol_3fifth]OMG YOU GUYS HAVE TO TRY THIS OUT!Inspired by @miyukiadachi, a Japanese pasta chef in Toronto who creates beautiful pasta with self-made pasta boards or even vegetable grater! It made me wonder what kind of pasta shapes I could potentially create in my own home without spending an extra dime, and after testing with what I have in my kitchen drawer, I'm amazed at how many different and beautiful fresh pasta shapes that came out from simple kitchen tools like tongs! Like rice spatula! Or even from making my own pasta board simply with wooden skewers!Here, three types of fresh pasta doughs that could be used interchangeably with each different method. Really!? Do you really want to hear me say another word at this point?! Go! Run! Make it now![/ezcol_3fifth] [ezcol_1fifth_end] [/ezcol_1fifth_end][ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end][/ezcol_1half_end]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaca0J8UJw8MUSHROOM WATER PASTA DOUGH:Yields 2 servings1 1/2 cup (195 grams) tipo 00 flour, or all-purpose flour2 large egg yolk1/8 tsp salt5 tbsp mushroom water (the water you use to soak dry mushrooms)Mix flour, egg yolk, salt and mushroom water in a large bowl

Well, this one is mine. In case you aren't aware yet, but for the past two weeks, I've been and will be stuck with tiny and barely equipped kitchens in rented apartments all the way till early January.  You know when they say, you don't know what you have until you've lost it?  Well, I feel exactly the same about my kitchen.  Because what I have now in my temporary possession is a bended cutting board, a non-stick skillet, and a knife that's about as sharp as a letter-opener.  But, strangely, it is always when I don't have something, that I find myself wanting it the most. Two days ago, like a crippled soldier standing amidst the desert, not the most convenient timing of all you see, I found myself really, really craving some homemade pastas.
