Low carb pasta (machine
helpful)
Recipe By :Dottie
Categories:Other
1 cup protein powder -- plain/zero
carb prefered
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 each eggs -- extra large
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper -- (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup water -- approximate*
I highly recommend either a pasta
machine that mixes and extrudes or at
least a pasta press/roller type mnachine for even rolling/cutting.
Mix protein powder, flour, salt
and pepper in machine basin or bowl.
Mix wet ingredients well making sure to beat egg into other ingredients,
and add according to manufacturers directions OR make a well
in the middle of the dry ingredients and mix until it forms a
dough that holds together but is not wet. If it's too wet, add
a tablespoon more of protein powder and knead in. If it's too
dry, add a tablespoon of water and knead in.
Once the dough is formed, extrude
in desired pasta shape according to mfg instructions OR divide
into 4 pieces, powder with extra protein powder and run through
press as directed to desired thickeness and cut OR divide into
4 pieces powder a flat surface and roll with a rolling pin to
desired thickenss and cut to desired shape/length.
To cook: drop into rapidly boiling
water for approximately 1-2 minutes
depending on thickness and pasta type. Do not overcook. Serve
immediately.

NOTES : This makes 4 main dish sized servings when done with
a mix/extrude machine because it forms even sized pieces. When
rolling and cutting by hand, it may make less. It also makes
6 side dish servings.
