Pasta dough: First, insert the dough hook into the Kenwood mixer. Then, add the flour and salt to the mixing bowl. Set the mixer to speed 1 and mix everything together slowly for about 30 seconds to thoroughly blend the dry ingredients. Next, add the eggs and olive oil. Turn the mixer back on and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and pliable. This step requires patience and care to ensure the dough reaches the right consistency. Then, cover the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes to allow the ingredients to settle and the dough to become easier to handle. Next, insert the lasagna roller into the Kenwood mixer and set it to speed 1. Portion out the dough on a floured surface and lightly roll it out or flatten it, then pass it through the lasagna roller on speed 1. Repeat this process, gradually increasing the roller speed until the desired thickness is reached, usually at speed 6. After that, insert the spaghetti attachment into the mixer. Run the pasta sheets through on speed 1 and then carefully hang the spaghetti on a rack to dry to ensure it doesn’t stick together. Spaghetti Aglio e Olio: Chop the garlic and parsley. Slice the chili. Heat olive oil in a pan. Add the chopped garlic to the pan and sweat lightly to release its aroma. Then add the chili and fry briefly to intensify its flavors. Bring a pan of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta for about 2 minutes until al dente. Carefully remove the spaghetti from the pan and add it to the pan. Add the chopped parsley and toss everything thoroughly to combine the flavors. Season the pasta with salt and pepper and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
