Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup matzah cake meal
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • potato starch for rolling

To serve

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 lemon zested
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine the cake meal, lemon zest, black pepper, and kosher salt.
  • Make a small well in the centre of the mixture, add the eggs and egg yolk, mixing with a fork until well combined.
  • Add the water and olive oil, mixing with a fork or spoon to evenly combine. Form the dough into a disc, and wrap in plastic wrap. Let rest in the fridge for 10 minutes, or up to two days.
  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to boil. Dust a baking tray with potato starch.
  • Generously dust your work surface with potato starch. Divde the dough into four even pieces, and roll as thinly as possible, using the potato starch to prevent sticking. Use a knife to slice into 1/2 inch ribbons. Set aside, and repeat with remaining dough.
  • Boil the pasta for 1 to 2 minutes, or until tender. Drain, and serve with lemon zest, black pepper, feta cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil.
