Ingredients
  • 2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp. finely ground sea salt
  • 1 egg + 2 egg yolks
  • ¼ cup pure pumpkin puree
  • Water
Instructions
  1. Combine flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a couple times.
  2. Add egg yolks, egg and pumpkin puree and pulse until mixed well.
  3. Slowly drizzle in water until a ball of dough forms around the blade (this happens very quickly so be careful not to pour too much water).
  4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a ball, dust ball with flour and cover with saran wrap. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  5. Once rested divide dough into (4) quarters, working with one at a time and keeping the remaining wrapped in saran wrap, flatten with your hands into a rough rectangle and run through a pasta roller. You will begin on the thickest setting and run them gradually through the roller working your way to thinner settings as your dough is stretched. Dust dough with flour as necessary to keep pasta from sticking to the roller. Learning to handle the pasta during this process takes a little time and there is a learning curve but it’s worth it. I worked from setting one to setting four on my KitchenAid roller attachment. Once they are at desired thickness lay over a pasta drying rack or on sheets of lightly floured parchment paper. Continue until each quarter of dough is rolled out.
  6. Switch from roller attachment to fettuccini cutting attachment and cut each sheet of pasta. Again place cut strips of pasta over drying rack or on sheets of lightly floured parchment paper. If dough feels sticky or wont run through the cutter attachment lightly rub sheets of pasta with additional flour on both sides.
  7. Alternatively if you do not have a roller or cutter, divide dough and on a floured work surface use a rolling pin to roll dough out to desired thickness.
  8. You’ll want to roll it as thin as you can. Dust dough with flour as necessary to keep pasta from sticking to the rolling pin. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut into strips. Set on sheets or hang on drying rack as you continue with the remaining dough.
  9. To cook, boil water in a large pot generously seasoned with salt. Add noodles and cook 1-2 minutes, stirring to prevent clumping. Homemade pasta cooks in considerably less time then dried boxed alternatives.
  10. Drain, add your favorite sauce or toss with olive oil and seasonings.
  11. Serve & enjoy!
