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
