Kamut Pasta Recipe

Let me tell you that this Kamut pasta recipe is just what you need if you enjoy making your own pasta but are seeking for a healthier option.

Ancient grains, which are richer in protein and other nutrients, are used to make it.

Ingredients

• 2 ¼- 2 ½ cup Kamut flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3-5 tablespoons water

Directions to Make

• To begin, combine salt and 2 14 cups of flour. They should be spread out and combined into a mound
• Make a well in the middle of the ingredients once they have been combined to hold the eggs, water, and olive oil
• Add 3 tablespoons of water, the eggs, and the olive oil. Mix the moist ingredients in the center with a fork. Work the flour around the edges gradually
• Start kneading it with your hands once it has been well combined and is a shaggy mass
• The dough should be just a little bit sticky
• If you think you need more flour, apply it slowly. I like to sprinkle a little on the surface and then add more as I go. If extra water is required, make a dimple in the dough and pour it in
• When the dough is smooth, knead it for 4–6 minutes. Wraps it up and leave it at room temperature for at least an hour
• It’s time to roll after it has calmed down! You may roll it into any form you choose, I fashioned mine into fettucini
• Pasta should cook for three to five minutes after being added to salted, boiling water. Do not overcook, merely cook until the food is al dente
• Put on your preferred attire, and it is ready to go
