How To Make Vegan Pasta From Scratch

By Aanchal Mathur

Traditionally, made using wheat, water, and eggs, pasta is one of the most comforting Italian dishes. Here’s how you can make a vegan pasta from scratch 

Ingredients

100 gm flour   100 gm semolina/suji   ½ tsp salt   ¾ cup water   2 tsp olive oil   Turmeric (optional)

First mix the flour, semolina, and salt in a bowl. Create a well in it and pour water followed by olive oil. Mix well to combine.  

Transfer to a working surface and knead to a smooth and soft dough for about 8-10 minutes.

Form a ball of the dough, wrap in a cling wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Once refrigerated, take it out and place it on a floured surface and thinly roll it out using a rolling pin. 

Dust with as much flour to prevent sticking, and loosely roll it up. Use a very sharp knife and cut the roll into strips.  

 Use your fingers to unroll the noodles and lay them loosely into several bundles to create noodle nests.

To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente for about  2-3 minutes.

Toss in your favourite sauce and veggies and enjoy.
