Instructions
Making the pasta- Place flour in KitchenAid® Stand Mixer Bowl. Add ½ teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Make a well and add eggs. Attach Stand Mixer Bowl and Flat Beater Accessory and mix ingredients on speed 1 for 1 minute until shaggy. Scrape sides of the bowl to incorporate ingredients if needed.
- Switch to the Dough Hook Accessory and turn the Stand Mixer to speed 2, kneading dough for 4-5 minutes. Dough should hold together when pressed between fingers. If too dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it comes together. If too sticky, add flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Remove dough from the Stand Mixer bowl to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand until smooth. Shape into a ball. Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Once the dough is rested, divide it into 4 portions. Cover 3 portions and shape the remaining portion into an oval about ½ inch thick.
- Attach the 3-in-1 Pasta Attachment to the Stand Mixer and turn the mixer to speed 4. Set roller to thickness setting 1 and feed dough through 3 times.
- Fold dough into thirds and feed through 3 more times. Repeat until the dough sheet is smooth.
- Change setting to thickness 2 and feed through 2 times. Flour lightly between rolling to prevent sticking. Repeat for each thickness setting until desired thickness is reached (setting 4-5 for spaghetti).
- Flour a dough sheet well on both sides and transfer rolled dough to the spaghetti cutter to cut into strands. Flour pasta strands and set aside on a floured rimmed baking sheet to continue the rolling and cutting of the remaining pasta portions.
- Boil 6 quarts of water over high heat. While water is coming to a boil, make sauce.
- Finely mince garlic and shallot in the KitchenAid® Food Chopper. Add peas, mint, basil, lemon zest and juice, pistachios and 1 teaspoon of salt. While processing, stream in olive oil.
- Boil pasta for 6-7 minutes. Drain pasta and add pesto, stirring well to coat. Serve with burrata, garnish with additional lemon zest, mint, and pistachios.
Pesto freezes well. Make a double batch for a future pasta night. Try fettuccine instead of spaghetti, also rolling to thickness setting 4-5.
