You will not need any equipment such as a pasta machine for this recipe. It is all made by hand.
Well we survived week one of March Break....... barely, and we have a few more weeks of the kids saying “I’m Bored”.
Let’s get them involved in the cooking process! Children will love helping and they will enjoy the hands on component of cooking. There’s no better way to give your kids the tools to feed themselves in a fun and healthy way, than to involve them.
This recipe is very simple as are the ingredients- flour and water. I usually make my pasta with semolina flour, however, most people don’t have semolina flour in their cupboards so I will keep it simple and use unbleached flour.
You will need 2 cups regular unbleached flour
3/4 cup warm water
1 tsp salt
Make a pile of flour on your counter. Granite works great as does a wooden board.
Add your salt and using your fingers gradually stir the water in. Keep stirring it all together until a ball of dough forms. Then you knead for at least 5 minutes until your dough is smooth.
Let the dough rest under plastic wrap for 10 minutes. This waiting will be the most difficult time for the kids. This would be a good opportunity for the kids to scrape off the flour from the work surface and the adults can get a pot of water boiling.
Cut of a small portion of the dough and roll into 1 centimetre or half an inch long ropes.
Cut the rope into 5 cm pieces or close to 2 inches. You will need to use 3 fingers to roll into the dough to make indentations.
Refer to my YouTube video to see exactly how it’s made.
Boil the pasta in salted water until they float and then another few minutes. Taste the pasta for doneness.
A quick and easy dairy free and egg free sauce for the pasta can be made with vegan butter or margarine and dried sage. If you don’t have sage, vegan butter alone is delicious. If you like garlic, throw some in while melting the butter. Just melt in a pot, stir and combine with pasta. Top with vegan Romano cheese.
Of course you can use any tomato sauce for this pasta and if you don’t mind cheese, top it with Parmesan or Romano cheese. Your children will be so proud of their efforts and so will you!
