Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup of plain flour (you can use 00 pasta flour if you prefer the taste/texture, or another alternative such as buckwheat if you can't eat gluten or wheat).
- 2 small eggs
- 1 can of tuna (tomato & basil flavour)
- 1 can of 4-mixed beans
Method:
1.) On a clean bench, measure out a 3/4 cup of flour, and make a well in the centre of the flour.
2.) Crack 1 egg into the well, and 1 additional egg white. Use a fork and combine the eggs in the well.
3.) Once the eggs are combined, gently start folding the flour around the well into the egg mixture.
4.) When the egg is distributed throughout the flour, use the base of your palm to kneed the pasta dough.
5.) Roll out the dough to the desired level of thickness, and cut the pasta sheet into thin slices to achieve raw fettuccine.
6.) Place a pot onto boil, and with a sprinkle of salt, add your pasta to cook for 5 minutes (or until desired texture).
7.) Rinse the pasta, and retain some water for creating a sauce.
8.) Mix half a can of mixed beans into the pot to add some fibre.
9.) Empty one tuna tin (basil and tomato) into the pot and stir ingredients until well combined.
10.) Serve with some grated parmesan on top!
