Homemade Butter-Parsley Pasta Recipe

I have some parsley flakes sitting inside a bottle. Gave me an idea for a batch of aromatic pasta for lunch. Malcolm took butter out of the fridge to make sandwich earlier and left it on the kitchen table. It looks so inviting that i decided to use butter instead of oil for my noodles today.

I only have unbleached plain flour left. With the parsley flakes and a teaspoon of clarified butter, my Joyoung Noodle Maker churned out a nice batch of Butter-Parsley flavored pasta. The result is really really good and has that faint herby-buttery scent. Go give it a try:

What To Do With The Extra Dough Left In The Noodlemaker?

With each batch of noodles that i make, for sure there will be some extra dough left behind inside the noodlemaker. I hate seeing food material go to waste and will try my best to remove as much as possible from the container. This is especially true when i'm making noodles like soba as the organic buckwheat flour that i use is expensive compared to just plain flour.

Last week, i made a batch of chasoba with my Joyoung Noodlemaker. So, what to do with the extra dough left in the noodlemaker? It's easy. Just roll them all up into a ball. If it is too dry, use a few drops of water to soften it.

Next, use a pair of clean kitchen scissors and snip the dough into uniform pieces. it's entirely up to you to snip it short or long. Just make sure the thickness is the same throughout. This is important as thicker dough requires an extra minute or two to cook and that might affect the thinner strips' cooked outcome.

I got this much with my extra chasoba dough, enough for one dish. Wonderful when cooked, chilled, and added to salad. Also makes a great stir-fry dish with some meat and vege. Try it :)
