Garlic quails

 

Fresh pasta

  • 6 QUAILS
  • 4 CL GARLIC, mashed
  • 1 TBSP SAMBAL OELEK
  • 2 TBSP HONEY
  • 2 TBSP SOY SAUCE
  • 2 TBSP OIL
 
  • 500 GRAM FLOUR
  • 5 EGGS
Mix the oil, soy sauce, honey, sambal and garlic to a marinade. Cut the back side of the quails so that you can spread them out later. Put them in a bowl and cover with marinade, stir well. Leave overnight. Put the quails on an oven rack and roast 30 minutes at 180 degrees.

Knead the flour and the eggs for 5 minutes and add a little water until the dough is supple. Now pass the dough through a pasta machine at the widest number. Fold and pass it through again. Repeat this process 5 times; now you obtained a rectangular shaped piece of dough. Put your pasta machine on number 2 (a little thinner) and pass through again; increase this number one step at the time until you reach 8 or 9 and the pasta is nice and thin. Now you have lasagna sheets. Use the pasta-cutting part of your machine to make tagliatelle or spaghetti.

Making fresh pasta is a lot of work, but it is nice work and I find it always therapeutic. Also the kids love to do it. You can use the dough for lasagna or ravioli, or cut it into spaghetti, tagliatelle or fettuccini.
