VEGGIE FLAVORED PASTA – NO EGG

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Vegetarian Low-fat
Pasta

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
—–BASIC INGREDIENTS—–
1 c Flour, all purpose
Preferably durum semolina
1/3 c Water
—–OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS—–
1 tb Olive oil (optional)
Use one of following only:
1/4 c Tomato Juice (for red)
1/3 c Carrot Puree (for orange)
1/3 c Beet Puree (for red)
1 c Spinach puree (for green)

To make by hand, use a floured pastry cloth, put dry ingredients on cloth,
and make a “well” in the center of flour mixture, add liquid ingredients in
the well, and knead the dough, working the flour to the center as you
knead. After it forms a ball, knead by hand for several minutes.
To make with a food processor, put all ingredients in the bowl. Process for
1 minute until dough begins to form. Adjust liquid or flour if necessary,
continue to knead in the machine for 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 minutes.
To make with bread machine, place ingredients into baking pan. Use the
dough cycle, knead for 1/2 min. Adjust flour and liquid to form a round
ball of dough. Knead for another 5 minutes, then press stop button.
IF YOU HAVE A PASTA MACHINE, CONTINUE ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS.
To complete the pasta by hand, roll the dough into sheets, as thin as it is
possible to roll it on a floured pastry cloth with a rolling pin. Then
shape into long thin spaghetti like strips, or wider for noodles. Cut with
a pie crimper for a fancy edge and twist into bowknots. Use your
imagination. Allow to dry a minimum of 10-20 minutes, or longer, if
necessary. It may be dried for several hours, put into a ziploc bag and
refrigerated or frozen.
To cook, drop into boiling water (with a little salt, optional), and cook
just until al dente. Do not overcook. Serve with your favorite sauce.
You can make a white pasta, leaving out the vegetables, or you can use your
imagination, be creative, and use any number of other veggies. Try green,
yellow, red, purple, orange pepper puree; yellow summer squash or zucchini;
winter squash, pumpkin or sweet potato; broccoli, green beans, vegetarian
refried beans. The list is endless. Just use approximately one-third cup
of the one you choose.
