Recipe Chickpea pasta

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

I was thinking about the latest challenge ingredient (pasta) and decided to come up with something slightly different. I'm not in a position to try this out easily at the moment, but have an idea of two that might let me, served with a normal tomato and basil sauce. There are several steps to this that some may find daunting, but anyone who knows me will know that that rarely puts me off!

This recipe is a basic pasta recipe but with a twist. The flour used is a bean flour (you can use any bean flour, so black turtle bean, navy beans, red kidney bean or chickpeas as I have chosen to here.

The recipe comes from here. http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-food/how-to-make-bean-pastas/


Ingredients
For 1/2 lb. of pasta:

• 3/4 cup semolina flour
• 1/3 cup gram flour (besam/chickpea flour)
• 1 egg/vegan replacement
• 1 Tbs olive oil
• 2 or more Tbs water

Method

1. Combine all of the ingredients and knead in a mixer or food processor. You can also knead by hand for five minutes if you wish. Make sure you knead until the mixture becomes smooth and soft. You do not want it to be crumbly. Add more water if needed but proceed with caution.
2. After you knead the mixture, you’ll want to cover it right away with a plastic bag to prevent it from drying out. Then, let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes and you will have a ready-to-use dough.
3. Divide the dough into balls and put the dough lumps through the pasta machine. Run it through five, seven, ten, or however many times it takes for the dough to become softer. Make strips from this dough, then run the strip through the machine until you reach your desired thickness. For those of us without a pasta making machine, this is a lot of work with a rolling pin. But dig in and have some fun. Make the pasta as flat and thin as possible, not transparent, and then slice into 5mm strips as long as you like your thick noodles/tortellini tagliatelle or thinner if you want more work!
4. Let your noodles dry by hanging them somewhere so they don’t stick together. A clothes wrack (or noddle/pasta dryer) is ideal for this. Then, boil the pasta and you’ll have hot, homemade bean noodles!

Now serve with a sauce of your choice. I have a few favourites here on this site.

Ok, I can't find the one I'm after, so I'll hunt for it a touch later and add the link in then.

Hanging the noodles out to dry, is that anything like the Italian Pasta Harvest?
