Fresh Pasta

 I have this recipe memorized and it works every time. 255g flour, 3 eggs, one tablespoon oil, a big pinch of salt. Knead the dough for 10 minutes and rest before rolling through a pasta machine. My pasta sheets were cut a size somewhere between tagliatelle and pappardelle.

 Not the most photogenic meal, or the most sophisticated recipe but very delicious! Soften dried ancho chilies in boiling water, reserving liquid. Saute two diced onions in neutral oil with a good amount of adobo, add a pinch of cinnamon and a bigger pinch of cumin. Puree chilies with 50g raisins and 4T of the chili soaking liquid. Add two tablespoons of peanut butter and two tablespoons of chipotle puree. Add a 400g can of tomatoes and 400ml of water, bring to a boil and add 25g of dark chocolate. Add chicken thighs and chopped peppers, cook through and season to taste. Serve with rice.
