Basics: Fresh Pasta Recipe

Ingredients

16 cup water
4 tsp salt
1 lb fresh pasta


Directions

Basics for new cooks:

In large pot, cover and bring water and salt to full rolling boil.
Stir in pasta, separating pieces; return to boil and boil, uncovered
and stirring occasionally, for 1-3 minutes or until tender but firm.
Drain well.

Tip: If a sauce is to be served on pasta, do not rinse. The starch on
the surface of the pasta will allow the sauce to cling to the pasta.

The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the far past, certainly as far as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.

Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into starters, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise like basil, fennel and parsley.

Over the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day.

By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications are greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, leisure time and being a little richer.
