Einkorn Pasta
I am crazy for einkorn pasta. You can make this pasta using the traditional way of making flour into a circle and adding a well to the center to put the eggs in. However, I found a food processor works just as well and is super fast. You can also use a pasta maker. I showed you how to roll it out and cut it into strips by hand in this recipe, with pictures. If you want to see the pasta maker I use that attaches to any kitchen aid, check out this link. Pasta Attachment for Kitchenaid Stand. It's a great way to make fettuccine, spaghetti, and lasagna noodles. Once you try making your own einkorn pasta, you are going to want one!

Instructions
- Remove the dough and place on a lightly floured work surface. If the dough is a bit sticky, add a sprinkle of flour. Knead by hand for 1-2 minutes (the food processor does most of the kneading for you). Form the dough into a ball, cover tightly with plastic wrap, or slip a bowl over it. Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Repeat these steps with the other 3 pieces of pasta dough.
- When ready to cook add pasta to 2 gallons of rapidly boiling water with 1 tablespoon of salt added to it. It should only take 2-5 minutes to cook, depending on how thick you cut the pasta. Taste a piece and cook to your liking.
Notes
How to Store Fresh Pasta: If you’re not cooking the pasta right away, cover your well-floured spinach pasta and place it on a tray covered with plastic wrap. Leave at room temperature if cooking within 1-2 hours. Alternatively, refrigerate until ready to cook, up to 12 hrs. It’s best to cook homemade pasta on the same day it’s made, otherwise it might oxidize, discolor and stick together if chilled past 24 hrs.
