Original Recipe Yield 8 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 dash ground nutmeg
  • 1 dash ground black pepper
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chestnut puree
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  •  
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, whole wheat flour, salt, nutmeg and pepper; mix. Make a well in the center and add eggs and 2 tablespoons olive oil; beat well. In a bowl combine chestnut puree and 1/2 cup water; add to egg mixture. Incorporate flour and egg mix. Dough will be very stiff. Adjust with more flour or water. Knead for 10 minutes and allow dough to rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Cut off a handful of dough. With a rolling pin, roll 6 inch wide strips, 1/16" thick. Use a pasta machine if you have one. Dust strips with flour. Allow to slightly dry on muslin cloth. Cut into long pasta 1/4" wide. Dry for 30 minutes.
  3. Add pasta to a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water with a tablespoon of oil. Boil for 5 minutes; drain. Mix pasta with olive oil, minced garlic, Romano cheese, salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
