When you’ve by no means made homemade pasta earlier than, this can be a nice beet-boosted tackle fettuccine. Contemporary pasta is rather a lot much less time-intensive than you would possibly suppose (actually!). You knead the dough by hand, and you narrow the pasta dough into fettuccine noodles in considered one of two methods – by hand, or with a pasta machine. The pasta machine is extra exact, however there may be numerous appeal in hand-cut noodles – each are particular.
I really like this beet juice-spiked fettuccine, the beets lend an attractive pink colour, and you’ll mess around with how pale or saturated your noodles are by including kind of beet juice. You possibly can, in fact, substitute different liquids, or use yellow (or orange) beets. When you have success with these noodles, use the recipe as a leaping off level for different flavors.
A few ideas – do not skimp on the kneading time. You need a silky, even-textured dough earlier than wrapping it, after which letting it relaxation (and hydrate) a bit.
One element to emphasise right here, I name for semola flour right here (totally different from semolina) – semola is ok, powdery and talc-like durum wheat, semolina is usually coarser. I mix it with both complete wheat pastry flour, or finely floor rye flour right here.
You possibly can benefit from the noodles in countless methods. They’re lovely in a easy broth with herbs. We had them for lunch topped with a number of sautéed mushrooms, a splash of cashew milk, poppy seeds, scallions, toasted walnuts, and an enormous squeeze of lemon.
