ingredients
- 250 g Pasta flour
- 4 g Sea salt
- 0 1/2 g Turmeric powder
- 5 g Chia seed
- 100 ml Water
- 20 g Olive oil
Method
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, turmeric, and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
Step 2
Mix the ground chia seeds with the water and olive oil. Leave to activate for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the wet mix into the well.
Step 4
Using a fork or your hands, gradually mix the flour into the wet ingredients until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time. If it's too wet, add a bit more flour.
Step 5
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This helps to relax the gluten, making it easier to roll out.
Step 7
After resting, divide the dough into 4 pieces for easier handling. Using a rolling pin or a pasta machine, roll out each portion into thin sheets. Dust with semolina as needed to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Cut the rolled-out dough into your desired pasta shapes (e.g., fettuccine, tagliatelle, or lasagna sheets). You can use a knife, a pizza cutter, or a pasta machine with cutting attachments.
Step 9
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh pasta and cook for 2-3 minutes or until al dente. Fresh pasta cooks much faster than dried pasta, so keep an eye on it.
Step 10
After draining pasta, toss it with a little olive oil to prevent it from sticking together.
Step 11
Drain the pasta and toss it with your favorite sauce. Enjoy your homemade vegan pasta!
Step 12
Feel free to experiment with different flours or add herbs and spices to the dough for extra flavor.
