Homemade Pasta with Tomato, Paprika, and Thyme

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - ½ cup
Chicken Egg - 2 pieces
Potato - 1 piece
Garlic - 1 clove
Paprika - 1 tablespoon
Butter - 2 tablespoons
Olive Oil - 1 tablespoon
Thyme - 1 sprig
Cheese Spread - 1.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Knead a firm dough from flour and eggs, adding more flour if necessary. Roll the dough into a thin sausage shape. Cut it into equal pieces. Squeeze each piece at the cut ends with your thumb and index finger to form a round shape the size of a 50-cent coin, with a slight indentation. Leave to dry for an hour or two.

Step 2

Boil the pasta in a large amount of salted water until al dente. Drain the water, leaving ⅔ cup.

Step 3

In a deep skillet, pour in the olive oil, add the butter, and place over heat. Finely chop the garlic, add it to the skillet, and sauté until golden. Add the sprig of thyme and paprika.

Step 4

Slice the tomatoes and add them to the dish, pour in some of the reserved water, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Then add the remaining water, season with pepper (if desired), and add the pasta. The sauce should start to thicken.

Step 5

I used hard Swiss cheese with a rich, creamy flavor. Cut the cheese into small cubes and quickly stir it into the pasta.

Step 6

Next to it, I cracked an egg. The yolk should remain runny and intact, as it will serve as an additional sauce.

Step 7

When the egg in the skillet is cooked to perfection, the sauce has thickened and reduced, and the cheese has melted, remove from heat, sprinkle with your favorite herbs, and enjoy your meal. Bon appétit.
