Hi!
ReplyDeleteTell me if you figure out the whole wheat pasta thing...is the gluten what I am trying to get rid of, I just thought I was trying to get rid of the larger pieces of the wheat germ shell....because it kind of breaks up the pasta? I think..
(Meghan, not anonymous)
meghan, we WANT the gluten to get out of the bran/germ shell and into the pasta. without it, we just get regular old mushy whole wheat pasta time and time again. the gluten is the key to good texture....
ReplyDeleteI made some whole wheat ravioli last week. Not sure what I did but it was delicious.
ReplyDeletenick, were they 100% whole wheat? i've mostly been working on extruded pastas, and keep getting stuck at the same point, so i took out the big guns and asked harold mcgee and the folks at tartine for advice. they gave me some interesting things to think about, so it's back to the drawing board for me.
ReplyDeletewhere do you get rolfed in the bay area?
