I would like to begin the current week's blog by referencing last week's blog.
Each week when you post I have given you instructions to SITE/REFERENCE where
you find your recipe. Most weeks not many have been doing this. By not giving
the site/reference of a recipe, you are giving the notion that this recipe is
your own...which many are not. So your grade last week reflects failing to site
your recipe. One of you did site/reference your recipe and I thank you. In
order to correct this, you will need to go back to last week's blog and comment
under YOUR own entry and give the site/reference for your recipes. Grades will
not change until this occurs. From this point forward, failure to
site/reference the recipes will result in 50% grade reduction.
Now on to the blog for this week. March 11th is National Eat Your Noodles Day. It is humorous, to me, that we have a day set aside for eating noodles, but we do. Noodles are one of my favorite things to eat...some days I wish every day was noodle eating day. (LOL). Anyway, this week I would like for you to share with us 3 of your favorite noodle recipes. Don't forget to site where you found the recipe! If your recipe is a family favorite, then tell me that. Otherwise I will think the recipe is your own and I can tell if the recipe is your own or not.
Remember to post by Friday 3/9 by midnight. Also, remember the nine weeks ends on Friday too. If you are planning on going back and completing some of the blogs that you might have overlooked...you have until Wednesday 3/7 to do this. After 3/7 I will ONLY GRADE the current blog.
Should you have any questions please talk to me. Have a great week.
Ms. H

ground black pepper to taste
3/4 cup seashell pasta
6 ounces rotini pasta
2 pounds mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
The directions for this is:
1. Brown hamburger in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain. Mix in tomato sauce, pasta sauce, pepperoni, salt, and black pepper.
2. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.
3. Spread a little sauce over the bottom of two 9 x 13 inch pans. In each pan, place a layer of pasta, a layer of mozarella cheese, a hamburger sauce layer, a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese, and another layer of mozarella cheese. Repeat layers. Cover pans.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 45 minutes.
Another recipe my grandma likes to use is Homemade Egg Noodles.
Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups flour
2 to 3 tbsp. water
4-5 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 tbsp. olive oil or melted butter
Directions:
Using a large fork, beat eggs with salt until smooth.
In a very large wide bowl or on a clean work surface, make a well in the flour. Add the eggs into the center of the well and and a few tablespoons of cold water. Gradually drag the flour into the center and work it in until you have a stiff dough. There may be some flour left behind.
Knead on a floured work surface until very smooth, about 5-6 minutes.
Sprinkle lightly with flour to keep dough from sticking to surface, as needed.
Divide the dough into 4 parts. Let rest for 10-30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
When ready, thinly roll out the dough using a heavy rolling pin or a pasta rolling machine.
Roll up jelly roll style into a spiral and cut into long thin strips using a sharp knife or put the dough through the cutting section of the pasta machine. Dough may also be used for making ravioli or lasagna noodles by cutting into wide noodles.
As soon as the noodles are cut, toss them with flour (semolina flour is best for this purpose but any kind may be used). This helps to keep the noodles from sticking.
Bring 6-7 quarts of water to a rolling boil and add 2-3 tablespoons of salt (after the water has begun to boil).
Drop in the noodles and cook just until they float to the surface (take out a sample and test before removing from the water). When they are tender, which should only take several minutes, drain in a colander.
