Kamut Pasta Recipe

Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
- 1 rolling pin or pasta roller
Ingredients
- 2 ¼- 2 ½ cup kamut flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3-5 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Start with 2 ¼ cups of flour and salt. Place them on a surface and mix together in a mound. Once they are mixed, create a well in the center that will hold the eggs, water, and olive oil.
- Add in the eggs, olive oil, and 3 tablespoons of water. With a fork, mix the wet ingredients in the middle. Slowly begin to work in the flour around the edges.
- Once it is mixed in and is a shaggy mess, start kneading it with your hands. You will want the dough to be just slightly sticky.
- If you need more flour, add it cautiously, I like to sprinkle the surface and add it in as needed. If you need to add more water, dimple the dough and add the water in there.
- Knead for about 4-6 minutes until the dough is smooth. Cover with saran wrap and let it sit at room temp for at least an hour.
- Once it has relaxed, it is time to roll! I made mine into fettucini, but you can roll it into any shape you like.
- Add the pasta to boiling salted water and let it cook for about 3-5 minutes. Remember only to cook until it is al dente, no need to overdo it.
- Dress it how you like and it is ready to go!
