Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 dash ground nutmeg
1 dash ground black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chestnut puree
½ cup warm water
½ cup olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup grated Romano cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, whole wheat flour, salt, nutmeg and pepper; mix. Make a well in the center and add eggs and 2 tablespoons olive oil; beat well. In a bowl combine chestnut puree and 1/2 cup water; add to egg mixture. Incorporate flour and egg mix. Dough will be very stiff. Adjust with more flour or water. Knead for 10 minutes and allow dough to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Cut off a handful of dough. With a rolling pin, roll 6 inch wide strips, 1/16" thick. Use a pasta machine if you have one. Dust strips with flour. Allow to slightly dry on muslin cloth. Cut into long pasta 1/4" wide. Dry for 30 minutes.
  • Add pasta to a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water with a tablespoon of oil. Boil for 5 minutes; drain. Mix pasta with olive oil, minced garlic, Romano cheese, salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

The pasta was a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the chestnuts were a bit overpowering. I would recommend using less cream and chestnuts next time.
