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

  1. 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).
  2. Start mixing up the floor with eggs etc. by working from the outside to the inside and slowly begin to knead everything.
  3. You should knead your dough for at least 10 minutes. Now have to leave the dough for 20-30 minutes to rest.
  4. After 20-30 minutes cut your dough into 4 dough balls and roll out the pastry so its maximum 1mm thick.
  5. 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:

  1. 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

  1. 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!
