Homemade Pasta Recipe (vegan, easy)

Step 1

*Note: Please watch the recipe video for visual instruction! Also, I highly recommend measuring the ingredients in grams rather than cups!

Step 2

Mix the flour, semolina and salt in a bowl. Create a well. Pour in water and olive oil, mix together until well combined.

Step 3

Transfer to a working surface and knead to a smooth and soft dough, about 8-10 minutes. (Add more flour if the dough is too wet, add more water, if too dry).

Step 4

Form to a ball, wrap in cling foil and let chill in the fridge for 1/2 hour.

Step 5

After the dough has refrigerated, cut into 2 equal portions.

Step 6

Place 1 portion on a floured working surface and thinly roll it out using a rolling pin (or a pasta machine, if you have one).

Step 7

Dust with more flour (to prevent sticking) and loosely roll it up. Use a very sharp knife and cut the roll into strips. Use your fingers to unfurl the noodles and lay them loosely into several bundles to create noodle nests.

Step 8

Continue same process with the next dough portion.

Step 9

To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Serve with your favorite pesto or sauce and enjoy!

Step 11

Cook fresh spinach until wilted, about 1-2 minutes (or defrost frozen spinach). Then squeeze and blend along with about 1/3 - 1/2 cup of water. Use this spinach mixture instead of only water in step 1 (make the dough) and continue with the recipe!
