Tools

Method

  1. To make the pasta whisk the eggs and the oil together, in the Kenwood food processor add the flour and salt, start to blitz and gradually add the eggs and oil. You're looking for a bread crumb texture. Remove from the bowl and kneed on the surface for 5 minutes to form a dough ball. Wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes
  2. Roll the dough through the pasta attachment on the Kenwood machine until thin, then cut into 30 cm lengths that you can cut into tagliatelle or linguine.
  3. In a large saucepan add the olive oil and heat, then add the diced turkey and ham and start to fry, now add the garlic and butter and cook gently without burning.
  4. In a bowl add half the cheese to the egg yolks and mix well.
  5. Add the pasta to a pan of salted boiling water and cook for 2 minutes, strain the pasta and add to the turkey and ham pan and mix well, add a splash of the pasta water to the pan and leave off the heat for 2 minutes
  6. Stir in the egg and cheese mixture and mix well, now add the parsley, salt and pepper to season
  7. Serve and finish with the remaining grated cheese.
