Equipment

  • Pasta maker or wooden rolling pin
  • Blender or kitchen processor
  • Optional: steamer basket

Ingredients

  • 1 β…“ cup semolina flour, finely ground (alternatively use AP flour)
  • β…” cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1-2 whole red beets
  • ΒΌ tsp salt
  • extra flour for working the dough and dusting

Instructions

  • Steam, bake, or boil the red beets until soft. Cut off top and bottom. Peel and cut into quarters.
  • Put beets with the eggs in a mini-blender or kitchen processor to create a puree.
  • Measure and mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the beet puree and create a uniform dough.
  • Dump dough onto your work surface and knead some more, adding either more flour or a bit of water to create a stiff dough. Let rest for 10 mins.
  • Divide dough into 4-6 equal pieces.
  • Flatten one dough piece, adding more flour to keep it from sticking and feed it through the pasta maker on the widest setting.
  • Fold pasta sheet, dust with more flour and feed through pasta maker again. Repeat these steps a few times until you have a soft pasta sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
  • Set your pasta machine to the next narrower setting and repeat the above steps. Gradually narrow the setting until you have the desired thickness.
  • Either use a fettuccini/linguini/spaghetti attachment or a knife and cut pasta sheets into desired shapes. Dust with flour and set aside until all the dough has been turned into shapes.
  • Cook pasta in salted boiling water for only a few minutes. Pasta is done when it's floating on top. Drain and serve with your favorite sauce.
  • Alternatively, you can keep the pasta in the refrigerator for a few days.

Notes

  • for convenience you can also use 2 TBSP of beet powder (then decrease the flour by 2 TBSP)
