Equipment

  • Pasta Machine

Ingredients

  • 2 pcs. Egg
  • 200 gram Flour for example wheat flour, tipo 00 or durum wheat flour
  • 27 gram Salt
  • Pesto green pesto with truffle - amount as needed
  • 1 handful Sage Leaves crispy fried

Instructions

Homemade pasta

  • Start by pouring the flour into a pile on the kitchen counter.
  • Now, dig a hole in the middle of the flour pile.
  • Crack the two eggs into the hole and add salt.
  • Take a fork and whisk the eggs while gradually mixing the flour with the eggs.
  • Gather the dough with your hands into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or a plastic bag.
  • Place it in the fridge for half an hour.
  • Sprinkle flour on the kitchen counter.
  • Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out on the kitchen counter with a rolling pin. Roll it as thin as possible.
  • Sprinkle flour on the rolling pin.
  • Let the dough wrap around the rolling pin and roll the rolling pin a few times across the counter with light pressure.
  • Then, unroll the pasta dough from the rolling pin.
  • If the pasta needs to be even thinner, give the dough another round with the rolling pin (You can also use a pasta machine). When the dough has the desired thickness, sprinkle a good amount of flour and fold it a few times. Cut the folded dough into 1-centimeter thick slices.
  • Take a pot and fill it with water.
  • Bring the water to a boil.
  • Put the pasta in the boiling water. Let the pasta boil for 4 minutes.
  • Remove the cooked pasta from the water with a pasta spoon - do not pour the water out, and under no circumstances rinse the pasta with water! We want to keep the starch on the pasta's surface so the sauce/pesto adheres better.

Serving

  • Toss the pasta in the green pesto. You can certainly use a store-bought green pesto from the supermarket, but it tastes best when homemade. If you want to make your own delicious,
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

If the pasta is not to be eaten immediately, toss it in a good amount of flour so it doesn't stick together before use. Be sure to toss it occasionally to prevent sticking.
