Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Red lentil flour
- 120 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the red lentil flour and salt.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the water and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients together with a fork until the dough begins to come together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 15 minutes to relax the gluten.
After resting, divide the dough into four equal portions for easier handling.
Take one portion and keep the remaining dough covered to prevent drying out.
Using a pasta machine, roll out the dough starting with the widest setting, gradually reducing the thickness until desired thickness is achieved, usually around setting 3 or 4.
Cut the rolled-out dough into desired pasta shapes, such as fettuccine or tagliatelle, using a pasta cutter or sharp knife.
Repeat the rolling and cutting process for the remaining portions of dough.
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the pasta for about 3-5 minutes, until al dente.
Drain the pasta and serve immediately with your choice of sauce or toppings.
