Cooking method

Italian "Bucatini" - thick and long pasta with a hole, perfectly holding the sauce.
Remember how in the famous Disney cartoon "Lady and the Tramp", which is more than half a century old, the main characters ate pasta? So, these were exactly bucatini. One macaroni for two!
Well, let's cook them. And, of course, with the classic Bechamel sauce. Let's add a bright taste and color to the vegetables. We will get a beautiful, satisfying and tasty dish!
Well, bucatini will also not be store-bought, of course. And the most homemade, egg, and even with durum wheat flour, so that it is more useful)) And closer to Italy)
Kenwood will help me (or rather, I’m him) with his nozzle for curly Italian pasta.
Let's start with bucatini:
1 Sift wheat flour and durum wheat flour into the bowl of the combine. Add salt. Pour in eggs

turn on the batch using the spatula nozzle until crumbs are formed. Attention! The density of the dough is very important! These should be exactly the crumbs, which when pressed are molded into a lump.

3 We throw the dough into the mouth of the nozzle and begin to squeeze out the curly paste. The pressure should be even.
4 Cut the bucatini of equal length and place on a baking sheet in one layer.

We send it to the oven preheated to 120C with convection. Dry until tender, periodically changing baking sheets. The finished, dried products are hard, do not deform when pressed. Since the dough was firm and dry, the drying process will take about 1.5 hours.

Bechamel sauce:
6 Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
7 When the butter is melted, add flour and mix thoroughly until smooth.
8 Without stopping to interfere, we introduce cream. Cook, stirring for about 2 minutes, until thickened.
9 Add salt, black pepper and nutmeg to the sauce to taste. We mix. The sauce is ready!
10 Cook pasta in lightly salted water until tender. We drain the water. We leave literally a third of a cup of water after cooking the pasta. This will distribute the sauce better over the pasta.
11 Add bucatini to the sauce and mix thoroughly.
12 Add canned green peas and diced peppers. Stir until smooth.
13 Put the bucatini with sauce and vegetables on a plate. Sprinkle on top with your favorite grated cheese and finely chopped parsley.
