How to Make Pasta Dough with a Food Processor - Martha Stewart's Cooking School

Should I make a um , a food processor pasta ?

I would love to see it .

Ok .

So sometimes when you're really rushed , you could do a food processor version of the same thing .

And it's again , two cups of flour right into the processor and your pinch of salt and you can actually break the eggs right down the neck of the food processor .

So , uh we're going to put three eggs the same as yours since this is your recipe and start pulsing a little bit in his time .

Yeah .

And I don't overwork it because that would be the death Snell of this pasta is to overwork it .

That's the same with pizza now as well .

Right .

Oh , wow .

I'm learning all this .

See , it looks good and just sandy and , and your little tiny bit of oil and that's it .

So in the number of seconds that took , um , compare to what I'm doing here .

Yeah .

But see now we start needing that .

It's sticking together nicely .

Yeah .

And if it needs a little bit more flour , you can just add the bench flower , as you said , dump it out and it's nice .

Don't you think I think it saves you five minutes , I think .

And our busy lives , five minutes is like , just like hours .

And I have to tell you it's not as messy as what I was doing .

No , it's not , but don't overwork it .

And I think that that's really the key .

And was that the metal blade or the metal metal ?

Ok .

Because I think really , uh , it's with the key with anything , whether we're working it by hand or a machine , it's really less is more .

Well , it's the same , I mean , pie crust , I timed us .

It was about 13 minutes to make a pie crust by hand by hand .

And then it was about , um , it was about 90 seconds for a little bit of ice water and it comes together .

So this is very , very nice already .

OK .

But see , this is gonna take less time to need is starting to smooth out .

My grandmother made all our own noodles and with a great big dowel long before the food processor .
