In the chaotic kitchen of a recipe developer, you get a food blog called FoodMayhem.
I'm Jessica, an Asian-American, born and raised in NYC, and that's Lon, my Jewish, white husband. While professionally trained as a French culinary- and pastry chef, many of FoodMayhem recipes are my attempt to preserve and share authentic Chinese and Taiwanese recipes learned from my mom. We don't eat Chinese food every day, so you'll get a little bit of anything we find delicious enough to share: from our Eastern European side; recipes and techniques learned from my restaurant days; restaurant reviews, food travel tips; and a few other juicy bits along the way. Welcome to FoodMayhem!
I’m already mildly obsessed with No Knead Bread. Then came the Quicker No Knead Bread. Then I saw No Knead Pasta! Holy Cow! My prayers have been answered.
This method uses a food processor to quickly bring egg and flour together (details in the lovely post by The Second Pancake) in just minutes, instead of the torture of kneading.
It’s easy enough to make for lunch. Seriously! I may be eating pasta for lunch every day from now on.
i love the idea of this. and wanna eat noodles now!
looks great, but isn’t using a food processor the same as kneading?
gorgeous plate o’ noodles, jessica!
Having spent my entire life with a mother who meticulously makes her own pasta at least four days a week the hard way, I’m going to have to sneak this in on her when she comes to visit! I wonder if she’ll be able to tell….
Deb Mele, the food processor does work the dough but it’s not hand kneading, which is the benefit.
EMC, can’t wait to see if it passes the mom test.
Hi Jessica, Kainaz is a big fan pasta and I oftem make it for her. But i buy packed pasta and don’t start from the base. Amazing pics
Yeah so when am I coming over for lunch? That last pic has me near delirious cuz it looks delicious. Is that bolognese? I have a weakness for bolognese.
Knife, definitely try making pasta fresh…you will not be sorry.
Yvo, it is bolognese and I have a weakness for it too. Perhaps because it’s the Italian Dza Jiang Mien.
