Giannetti Artisans Homemade Chestnut Pasta Recipe
Preparation time for Giannetti Artisans Homemade Chestnut Pasta Recipe: 35 minutes
Ingredients for 4 people:
5.29 OZ (150 g) Giannetti Artisans Italian Chestnut Flour from Garfagnana
3.52 OZ (100 g) of Corn Flour (or “polenta”)
1.41 OZ (40 g) of Rice Flour – used to get rid of stickiness in pasta dough
1 tablespoon Giannetti Artisans IGP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 medium-sized eggs
2 tablespoons of water
Preparation for Chestnut Pasta Recipe:
Sift chestnut flour and add corn flour to a large bowl and quickly mix together.
Add a tablespoon of olive oil, add eggs and then add water. Mix together. You will obtain a compact dough/compound and you will notice it to be sticky. Rice flour is used to avoid sticking. Add rice flour to the pasta dough and knead thoroughly.
Once you have gotten a compact dough block you can cut it in the middle and start rolling it out. Best results if you use a pasta machine, otherwise you can roll the pasta dough by hand using a rolling pin.
If you do decide to roll out by hand, we suggest that you do so by putting pasta dough between 2 pieces of oven sheets.
If you use a pasta machine remember not to roll dough too finely because it may rip.
Pasta cooking time is about 5 min.
