Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Does anyone have one of those garlic bakers? I picked up mine for $2.50 at a resale shop (they go for about $30 new), I love it...a nice loaf of fresh bread (I'm trying to perfect my recipe from my 'Bread Bible') it is soooo good. I haven't found a tampanada I really like, so I haven't experimented with that much. There is probably a cookbook out there, and I'm a sucker for those. Does anyone make their own pasta? I have a machine, a drying rack, I haven't had the nerve to crack it yet this fall, now that it is cool enough. Ohh and biscotti....I just got a new cookbook just about biscotti. Have to try that soon. I made some cheese biscotti (old Cooking LIght recipe) to dunk in soup a week or so ago. My favorite is chocolate chip biscotti though. ... glass of milk...yum. Ok, now I'm hungry. AmyF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I used to make pasta I had one of those Ronco pasta makers, it was electric you plug it in and it mixed and extruded the pasta. I think when we moved a few years ago all the pieces didn't come with. Gayle bipolyf Wed, 11 Oct 2006 9:54 AM Re: speaking of baked garlic it's been years, but I used to make my owm pasta.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 When I first got it I used it a lot. I loved making pasta. Then when I went back to work I didn't really have time to do a lot of from scratch cooking. gayle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I bought a Popeil Pasta maker at a thrift store a few weeks ago but haven't used it yet. Amazingly enough it was complete. I was able to find the manual and recipes online so I have to try it sometime soon. Anyone have this puppy? Any tips to get good sketties out of it?

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 New to the group here. Not a vegetarian, but do some catering and have requests for food that will fit the bill. Hoping I'll get some ideas here. I have a kitchen aid with a pasta roller kit. I use it all the time. I rarely buy pasta anymore. For the pasta dough: 1 egg 2/3 C. all purpose flour 1 Tblsp. Olive Oil 1/4 tsp. salt Place all in the food processor and process until it becomes a dough. (Many times it won't become a ball for me. I'll just dump it and knead it until smooth.) Cut into 3 pieces. Wrap each in plastic wrap and allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Begin at the thickest setting and roll the dough through. Fold in half and roll through again. Continue until the dough is light colored and smooth. Begin rolling at a thinner setting, one step at a time. Last night I made and alfredo sauce with carrots and zucchini with linguini. Took me about an hour from start to finish. Was wonderful. I use this to make all my pasta dishes including ravioli, cannelloni, tortellini, spaghetti, linguini, and fettuccini. My daughter's favorite is linguini (very thin noodles) finished with olive oil, crushed garlic, pesto, salt & pepper and parmesan cheese. YUM!

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I never much cared for the electric extruders. I mean, great fun to watch!! but the texture is completely different, to me.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I always just use tinfoil...give the head of garlic or the cloves you are using a thin coat of oil oil then wrap the whole thing in tinfoil, twisted tight at the top, then bake. Not the most environmentally friendly method but I only roast garlic maybe 3 times a year (though why I don't do it more, I don't know, it is SO good!). If I ever see a garlic baker for cheap, I'll pick it up, but the opportunity hasn't arised (arisen?) yet. ~Rachael , " Beth " <bethwisdom wrote: > > , akfral@ wrote: > > > > Does anyone have one of those garlic bakers?

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I just use a folded square of tinfoil, sometimes put in a little fresh rosemary & fresh ground pepper. I love baked garlic & try to remember to throw a couple in whenever I'm baking potatoes or a casserole. I was surprised how long the baked garlic would stay good in the fridge.
