Ingredients

• 250 grams Red lentil flour
• 120 milliliters Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the red lentil flour and salt.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the water and olive oil.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients together with a fork until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 15 minutes to relax the gluten.

Step 6

After resting, divide the dough into four equal portions for easier handling.

Step 7

Take one portion and keep the remaining dough covered to prevent drying out.

Step 8

Using a pasta machine, roll out the dough starting with the widest setting, gradually reducing the thickness until desired thickness is achieved, usually around setting 3 or 4.

Step 9

Cut the rolled-out dough into desired pasta shapes, such as fettuccine or tagliatelle, using a pasta cutter or sharp knife.

Step 10

Repeat the rolling and cutting process for the remaining portions of dough.

Step 11

Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the pasta for about 3-5 minutes, until al dente.

Step 12

Drain the pasta and serve immediately with your choice of sauce or toppings.
