Passover Lemon Pepper Pappardelle Pasta

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 3 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Course: main

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

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the cake meal, lemon zest, black pepper, and kosher salt.
  2. Make a small well in the centre of the mixture, add the eggs and egg yolk, mixing with a fork until well combined.
  3. 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.
  4. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to boil. Dust a baking tray with potato starch.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
