Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Red lentil flour
- 120 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the red lentil flour and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the salt throughout the flour.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the water and olive oil into the well.
Using a fork or your fingers, gradually incorporate the flour into the liquid in the center. Continue mixing until a rough dough begins to form.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Wrap the dough in a piece of plastic wrap or cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This allows the flour to fully hydrate and the dough to relax.
After resting, divide the dough into four equal parts. Take one part and keep the rest covered to prevent drying out.
Roll out the dough piece on a floured surface to your desired thickness, using a rolling pin or a pasta machine. The aim is to reach about 1-2mm thickness.
Cut the rolled-out dough into your preferred pasta shape, such as tagliatelle or fettuccine. Use a sharp knife for even edges.
Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the remaining dough pieces.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook it for about 3-5 minutes, or until it is tender but firm to the bite (al dente).
Drain the pasta and serve immediately with your favorite vegan sauce or toppings.
