Pasta Recipe: Homemade Chickpea Fettuccine with Artichokes & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Jennifer
Making fresh pasta from scratch is one of my greatest joys, and this dish was so incredible it almost brought tears to my eyes! The slightly nutty flavour of chickpea flour shines in this fresh fettuccine, making it the perfect match for olive oil-based sauces. Paired with marinated artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes, it’s a comforting and flavourful meal that’s sure to impress.

Ingredients
  

  • For the Pasta:
  • 1 cup chickpea flour
  • 1 cup type "00" flour (or all-purpose flour will work too!)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 large organic free-range eggs
  • For the Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup marinated artichokes chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • Reserved pasta water
  • Additional EVOO for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Make the Pasta:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, type 00 flour, and salt.
  • Create a well in the centre and crack in the eggs.
  • Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30-45 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough using a pasta machine or rolling pin to your desired thickness.
  • Use the fettuccine pasta attachment (or cut into fettuccine strands), sprinkle with flour to prevent pasta from sticking together and set aside.

  • Cook the Pasta:
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the fresh fettuccine and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the pasta floats to the top.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  • Prepare the Sauce:
  • In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of EVOO over medium heat.
  • Add garlic and sauté, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the marinated artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes, cooking until warmed through.
  • Using tongs, transfer the cooked fettuccine directly into the saucepan.
  • Add a splash of the reserved pasta water to the sauce and toss to combine.
  • Drizzle with additional EVOO and a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper before serving, if desired.
