In as little as 10 minutes you could be eating homemade Pappardelle, fettuccine, or even cannelloni or lasagna.
Equipment
- 1 Spice / Coffee Grinder
- 1 Rolling Pin (or soup can, water bottle, hard round fruit, wax paper & books, etc.)
Ingredients
Pasta Dough
- ½ cup oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Grind the oats and chia seeds into a fine flower. Add to a bowl then add your wet water.
- Using a spoon or your hand start mixing the dough until a ball forms. Knead and work the ball in your hands until it becomes fairly smooth and has an eleasti texture.
- Use your rolling pin and roll out a long thin sheet of dough. About 2mm, or 1/16th of and inch, thick, and about 40cm (16 inches) long and 20cm (8 inches) wide.
- Flour your dough so it's not sticky. Now for pappardelle, e will loosly rolling it up into a spiral/tube. (*For other pasta or doughs you want to stop here and go back to those instructions.)
- Now slice 2.5cm (1 inch) sections all the way across the rolled up sheet of dough (we do this so we get straighter noodles).Now unroll each little noodle spiral so it's ready to cook.
- Place the noodles in a large pot of rapidly boiling water until the noodles rise to the surface. Quickly blanch the noodles by straining them and then dunking or rinsing them in ice-cold water. Toss them with your desired sauce and enjoy.
