Ingredients

• 2 medium (about 200g) Carrots
• 2 cups (250g) All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups (65g) Semolina flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the carrots into small pieces. Steam or boil them until they are soft, approximately 10 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

Step 2

Using a blender or food processor, puree the cooked carrots until smooth. Measure 1/2 cup of carrot puree and set aside. (Any extra can be stored for other uses.)

Step 3

On a clean surface or in a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, and salt. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture.

Step 4

Crack the eggs into the well, add the 1/2 cup of carrot puree, and drizzle the olive oil on top.

Step 5

Using a fork, whisk the eggs and carrot puree together, gradually incorporating the surrounding flour into the mixture. Continue until the dough starts to come together.

Step 6

Knead the dough with your hands for 8–10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a small amount of flour onto your work surface as needed.

Step 7

Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax and the dough to hydrate evenly.

Step 8

After resting, divide the dough into smaller portions and roll it out using a pasta machine or rolling pin to your desired thickness. Cut into your preferred shape, such as fettuccine, tagliatelle, or sheets for ravioli.

Step 9

Boil the fresh pasta in salted water for 2–4 minutes, until tender. Drain and serve with your favorite sauce or accompaniments.
