Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Semolina flour
• 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
• 200 grams Silken tofu
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, chickpea flour, turmeric, and salt. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, blend the silken tofu until smooth. Add the olive oil and water to the tofu and continue blending until fully incorporated.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the tofu mixture into the well gradually, stirring with a fork to form a rough dough.

Step 4

Once the mixture begins to come together, transfer it onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. This helps relax the gluten, making it easier to roll out.

Step 6

After resting, divide the dough into four equal parts. Taking one portion at a time, keep the rest covered to prevent them from drying out.

Step 7

Using a pasta machine or rolling pin, roll out the dough portion as thinly as possible, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Cut the rolled dough into your desired pasta shape (like fettuccine or tagliatelle) using a pasta cutter or a sharp knife.

Step 9

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the freshly cut pasta and cook for 2-3 minutes until al dente. Fresh pasta cooks quite quickly, so keep an eye on it.

Step 10

Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of the pasta water. Serve immediately with your choice of sauce or seasoning, using the reserved water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
