Handmade red pasta with basil pesto - New Recipe
Hey everyone,
I herewith want to share a wonderful recipe to make your own pasta and pesto - handmade and without the need of a pasta machine. Here we go:
Ingredients
Red Pasta
420g spelt flour (alternatively curd mixed with a shot of sparkling water)
80 ml juice of beetroot
1 pinch of salt
4 eggs
1 tbs. olive oil
basil pesto
100 gr fresh basil
olive oil
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of pepper
60 gr parmesan
50 gr pine nuts
Step-to-Step Guide
Red Pasta
- Lay the spelt flour on the table and put the eggs, salt, olive oil and beetroot juice in the middle of your flour (please see picture).
- Start mixing up the floor with eggs etc. by working from the outside to the inside and slowly begin to knead everything.
- You should knead your dough for at least 10 minutes. Now have to leave the dough for 20-30 minutes to rest.
- After 20-30 minutes cut your dough into 4 dough balls and roll out the pastry so its maximum 1mm thick.
- Once you are done with this you can start cutting the pastry into tagliatelle (max. 5 - 10 mm broad).
Tip: Always add some flour if your dough gets too sticky!
Cooking the pasta:
- Now start cooking a big pot with water and salt. As soon as the water cooks lower the heat so it only simmers smoothly.
Now add the pasta and cook it for max. 5 minutes.
Tipp: You should not cook all the pasta at once! Do it carefully, since with too much fresh pasta the water could boil over!
❤Your pasta is ready to serve❤
Basil Pesto
- For your hand made pesto, just add all the ingredients in a mixer and stir it up till it gets a smooth consistency. You can add olive oil slowly and stop doing so when you have a nice smooth pesto.
Bon appétit!
