Preserving Farm Fresh Eggs (in Pasta!) | Pasta Making Tutorial | How to Store Homemade Egg Noodles

Let’s turn some farm-fresh eggs into pasta that’s shelf stable & talk about long-term food storage. I’m relatively new to this whole preparedness thing, but now that I doing it, I wish I’d have started a long time ago. Being prepared with plenty of food and essentials takes the stress and worry out of a lot of “what ifs” and means I can always be generous and share with others when a need arises.

You remind me of me in my younger days long long ago! I raised 4 children on 2 acres , but did not have the milk cow. (We had milk cow when I was a kid.). But I did all the rest! Wow you bring back memories! “ You Go Girl” to paraphrase you younger girls saying. Hugs and best wishes Mama Judy ( new subscriber)

[@carolavant3778]

It's so great to see a younger woman actually growing, preparing and preserving food for her family! My son is 36 years old and doesn't know any women his age that can cook!! I love your pasta machine - I have an old Cuchina Pro that I keep for when the power goes out (I'm in the N. Florida panhandle) and after a hurricane, that can be weeks. I'm 70 now, and a few years ago, I did invest in the Kitchenaid attachments - SO much easier, but it's always good to have a manual option. ❤

[@karinjudge7277]

Good job on making and preserving your pasta ! Your family is blessed to have you :)

[@HopewellHeights]

Thanks Karin! It truly is a blessing to have a family to cook and care for!

New to your channel, but absolutely love it! My husband goes, you gotta watch all she does with milk- she's got a lot of kids, you've got a lot of kids, she homeschools, you homeschool, she has raw milk, you have raw milk, her kitchen is blue, your kitchen is blue- you're like kindred spirits. ❤ Incidentally, we have the same pasta roller too!

That rack full of pasta is a beautiful thing!

[@Daniela.m.]

All you need to make pasta is flour, eggs, salt and…..I said a "baby" as you turned around to grab the oil 😂. Loved this video, now I will be getting the pasta machine so I can make it myself. Awesome tips you shared.

[@TodaysBibleTruth]

I recently purchased the same pasta machine. I wanted a tortilla press and figured this would do both. I love it.

[@Floridiansince94]

Nothing like home made pasta! My daughter gifted me a manual pasta machine for Christmas a couple of years ago and I love love love it!

[@brittanystanton4733]

Ive watched this video many times to day dream one day i will make this. My sis in law has a similar pasta machine unopened for a few years, I saw it and told her it will be living at my apartment until she wants it back 😂. Finally made my first batch to eat fresh tomorrow ❤. Thank you!

[@jenniferarmer106]

Brilliant idea using the clothes rack to dry pasta. I can’t wait to try that

[@HopewellHeights]

Works perfectly!

[@dottay3422]

Hi I make my pasta the same way but after drying I freeze it in regular ziplock bag & it can stay in freezer forever. Love your channel. I wish I live close to you, so I can buy some of your fabulous eggs.

[@lindseyrhoades7456]

Definitely inspired now to build up my pantry and have a years worth of food stored. Thanks for sharing all this info!!

[@joeyhardin1288]

New here. I have a clothes dryer for pasta for decades, great choice. I'm going to look around and see if your channel is for me. The wife and I are 60's and no grandkids. So the Motherhood doesn't work for me. I did watch the liquid laundry soap and enjoyed it much. When I store pasta, 2oz for each- tonight, tomorrow night and lunch the third day- 6oz. Zip the top for week after next. 12oz in each bag. For 2 60's people. Freeze dryer $4k, I dehydrate twice a week and can when it rains because I am stuck inside. A friend just came back from FL and dropped off a half bushel of tomatoes, in the DEHY while watching this. Thank you. God Bless and stay safe.

Thanks Amber!

[@tamialexander2487]

Love batch making pasta too! Took me years to discover how easy it is to dry it shelf stable so I no longer have to find room to freeze xtra. Since my kids are grown and gone, I use an xtra bedroom, cover bed with clean clear plastic table cover and be sure ceiling fan clean. I lay out all my cut pasta-fettuccine style dries best-spaghetti gets very fragile and wide lasagna style cracks up-single layer til bed is fully covered-turn on fan and leave overnight. Next day I bag it up in ziplock bags or bags of any sort even with twist tie as long as they are airtight. I store them in bedroom closet on a shelf till I want to use them and have plenty for 6-12 months. I’m always anxious to use it up because I can’t wait to do it again!

[@dern6497]

Now on a mission! Been trying to figure out how to long term store our eggs...this looks perfect!

[@HopewellHeights]

Water glassing and freeze drying are great for true egg storage, but this has become one of my faves!

[@jilleck4818]

Just bought sooooo much organic pasta. But did I add the pasta roller to my cart? Yes I absolutely did 😂

You are the Vanna White of pasta. You’re amazing. I subscribed and shared with my daughter. I’m hoping she will expand on her home made efforts. She’s really good for herbal ointment, and many other things, but you are a standout in personality and content. God bless you. 🙏

[@WestTexasTumbleweeds]

Found your KZbin from instagram. You answered a question I’ve been wondering about storing homemade pasta long term. My family has to have gluten free pasta. Hope you throw in a gluten free version every once in a while.

[@HopewellHeights]

I haven’t tried a GF version but I bet a 1 to 1 would work!

[@tt-homestead382]

Would you consider making a cloth diaper introduction video ? I have a 5 year old who is autistic and still potty training. Pull ups are pretty expensive and I'm worried she will outgrow them soon . I have thought about cloth diapering but I am a bit scared of it . I have heard of kids hitting rashes and stuff . Any advice would be welcome ! Love the video id like to try to make pasta . 😋

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

According to the Illinois state extension office, for long term storage of pasta it needs to be dried for not more than two hours then frozen for only two hours or needs to be cooked then dehydrate for long term storage due to the potential of e. Coli. Great video!

[@HopewellHeights]

Hello! Thank you for sharing! The problem with that recommendation is that it takes a lot longer than two hours for pasta to dry. Pasta isn’t dry can’t be stored in an airtight container. E. Cool and salmonella are killed at 160F, so that risk would be eliminated in boiling water (>200F). In our home we do a lot of things that are advised against in the mainstream, like drinking raw milk, eating food containing raw eggs, etc. not everyone is comfortable with that but that’s ok!

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

@@HopewellHeights Yes, I understand where you are coming from…. We only consume raw milk from our farm and raise most of our food because I’m a control freak! I wanna know where my food is handled and processed.

[@HopewellHeights]

@@MennoniteFarmhouse same here sister! I love knowing being able to have my hands and eyes on most of our food every step of the way as we grow, harvest, prepare and preserve!

I love your videos, Now i wanna make pasta with all our eggs. And where did you that dress , if you dont mind, love it!!!!

[@guardian555]

Can you make pasta with almond flour? Also can you show how to make angel hair pasta? Thanks.

[@michelleslaughter8264]

The reason any flour-based good can hold together is because of the gluten in the flour. Ive never heard of almond noodles, probably because they would fall apart during the rolling and cutting process. Ive seen some gluten free pasta made with lentils! Some middle eastern shops have lentils ground into a fine powder/flour. If you dont have access to that, you'd be able to find it online. If you dont have Celiacs, just a gluten sensitivity, I would highly encourage you to try and ancient grain like Einkorn flour! The recipe would be different from this video, so you'd have to google that. Ancient grains have a lower gluten content, but its still in there. They are also *truly* non GMO. I haven't met anyone with a gluten sensitivity that hasn't been able to eat Einkorn.

[@michelleslaughter8264]

Hope thats helpful!

Do you have a link for the olive oil bottle?

[@bethmitchell6981]

I just found your channel and I am loving your videos. How do you get your chickens to lay eggs that the yolk is so orange? God Bless you and your precious family.

[@HopewellHeights]

Thank you! Our flock is totally free range and they do not get any supplemental feed - true free range birds lay orange yolks!

[@bethmitchell6981]

@@HopewellHeights So can you totally free range your chickens without any feed? OMG that sure would save us a lot of money. I was told that the chickens today have most of the old ways of eating bred out of them. Makes me wonder now. Thank you so much. God Bless

[@edenelston7668]

​@@bethmitchell6981chickens won't get so hungry they starve to death; they instinctively scratch and eat bugs, grass, plants, etc. Even a vegan will consider eating a steak if it's a choice between that and starving to death. It's more about how you raise them, and the options they're presented.

[@juliabrown5948]

At what point can you cook the pasta if you are making it for that meal? Does it need to be floured and dried before being cooked?

[@karistolzenburg3828]

When we make homemade pasta, we wait 15 to 30 minutes before we throw them in the boiling water to cook.

[@KirstenPoling-cb8fx]

How did you learn how to do all these things?

[@GratitudewithGrace]

Hello 👋 Is this flour gluten free ?

[@flors8161]

How well would pasta dry in a dehydrator? Has anyone tried this to make sure all moisture is gone?

[@edenelston7668]

Depends on what kind of dehydrator you're using, and the shape of the pasta.

[@sarahdonohue6233]

I have stored my pasta for over nine months. Still perfect. Have you seen Ruthann Silk iron her pasta?

[@sarahdonohue6233]

How much of your hair ends up in your food?

[@friedenhiker1032]

You shouldn't wash eggs at all, unless they are heavily soiled, because you'll wash the bacteria into the egg.

[@edithgarcia1848]

[@phillippinter7518]

That's not pasta, pasta is not supposed to have eggs, just durum wheat semolina and water. Those are egg noodles if they have eggs

[@EBGage]

Big Whoop guy! It does not 'pay' to 'nit pick'. It is great to be able to make homemade whatever U want to call it, but that does not make a person hypocritical.

[@vintagecurio676]

I make pasta at home and in restaurants and it’s pretty straight forward. Almost every extruded pasta I’ve ever done is semolina and water. Its made to be dried. I make many variations of sheet pasta depending on what shapes I am making, what the filling or sauce will be, what the weather is like (humid or dry) etc. I almost always include egg because it adds a richness and silkiness to the dough that I’m looking for. Sometimes it’s all yolk, sometimes whole eggs and sometimes I add olive oil...or any combination in between. The most important thing you should consider beyond that is the hydration level and texture of finished product. I usually use a combination of fine ground semolina for toothsomeness and other restaurants for suppleness. There are as many ways to make pasta as there are nonas in Italy. It’s really all about learning and finding what you like.

[@sheilak-k742]

I absolutely love watching these videos that I found but please while you're in the kitchen cooking with your long hair put it up don't swing it around the food. Please put your hair up. You are extremely interesting and everything you do really liking it and as I said, I just found these but for the love of God, please put your hair up.
