ingredients
-
Pasta
- 7⁄8 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting work surface
- 1⁄2 cup semolina, plus more for dusting pasta
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 2 extra large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
-
Finish
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, minced
- 3 1⁄2 cups coarse breadcrumbs
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 16 ounces fresh tagliatelle pasta noodles
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
directions
- Pasta: Makes 10 ounces dough.
- Combine sifted flour and semolina in a bowl with the salt; make a well in the center of mixture and add eggs and olive oil.
- With two fingers, mix in a circular pattern until all the flour is incorporated; avoid overmixing for a tender dough.
- Scrape dough from bowl onto a floured surface; knead gently until dough is smooth; form into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- May be frozen up to one month; thaw in refrigerator.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out into a 1/16" thick sheet; sprinkle top surface of dough with semolina to prevent sticking and gently roll dough up, jelly-roll fashion.
- Cut crosswise into 1/4" slices; dust the pieces again with semolina and shake loose into noodles; cover with a towel until ready to cook.
- Finish: Melt the butter in a skillet until it begins to turn brown; add garlic, sage, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper; toss to combine.
- Transfer to a jelly-roll pan and bake until golden brown, about 6 minutes, tossing halfway through; boil pasta in salted water to desired doneness, 2-3 minutes; drain.
- Toss pasta with olive oil, Parmesan, and 2 1/2 cups of the breadcrumbs; sprinkle remaining breadcrumbs on top.

I’m a former interior designer and landscape designer. At the moment I get to enjoy being at home and working only when I want to. I like rollerblading, hiking, backpacking and trips to the ocean. I grew up on a farm in the Midwest and moved to the Northwest when I was thirty, over twenty years ago. I’m afraid they’ll have to bury me here in WA. This is God’s country and I’m never leaving.
I have a smallish collection of cookbooks, preferring to use the library and a copy machine. Among my favorites though, are: Recipes 1-2-3, by Rozanne Gold, a collection of recipes containing no more than 3 ingredients (excepting water, salt and pepper); A Treasury of Great Recipes, by Mary and Vincent Price, recipes collected from friends and chefs of great restaurants around the world; The Mediterranean Diet Cookbook, by Nancy Harmon Jenkins, about a collection of cuisines I’m convinced are the healthiest in the world and The Low-Calorie Gourmet, by Pierre Franey.
Currently my passions are our dogs, the garden, cooking, the natural world and of course, Dh. I can now add Zaar to that list of passions (translate: addiction). We have three dogs, two rescued and one adopted. They are Sugarpea, a Golden Retriever, Chickpea, a Llasa Apso and Sweetpea, a Shih Tzu; small, medium and large. We’re quite a sight out on the trail. One of the things I am most fond of about living here is the ability to vegetable garden year ‘round.
