Chef Bolton’s House-Made Pasta

In our April issue we write about how Jeff Bolton, executive chef at the JW Marriott Denver at Cherry Creek, is shaking up the traditional cooking class. Here Chef Bolton shares his recipe for quick and easy homemade pasta. 

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour                           
6 egg yolks                              
1 whole egg                          
½ Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil       
1 Teaspoon milk                                      
 
Mix all wet ingredients together. 

Place the flour in a mixing bowl and add the wet ingredients. On low speed allow to mix for 10 minutes. You may need to adjust the wet/dry ingredients depending on the humidity.

Remove the dough and allow to rest for 5 minutes before rolling. Roll out the dough and cut in one-inch strips. Blanch the pasta in salted boiling water for 1 minute.
