How to make?
Ingredients
1 lb. fresh beets, peeled and grated
1/2 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup vegetable broth or white wine
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
8 ounces fettuccine pasta
Fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
Directions
You can make the dough in a bowl, or directly on a countertop. If you start in a bowl, you'll end up turning out the dough onto a counter for kneading later. So! Start by combining the flours. Add the egg, and work it into the flour a bit. Add the beet juice, and stir to combine. Gradually add the water a splash at a time, you only want to use enough to get the dough to come together into a dryish mass. If you're not already working on a counter, turn the dough out and start kneading. You can add a bit more water now and then, if the dough is too dry. Knead for 7-10 minutes, just really go for it, until the pasta dough is silky and cohesive. Wrap tightly in plastic, or place in a sandwich bag for at least 30 minutes.
