Fresh Avocado Pasta

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together avocado and water.

Step 2

Place the flour on a clean surface and mix with salt. Create a well in the center and add avocado mixture.

Step 3

Using a fork, slowly incorporate flour into avocado mixture until a dough forms.

Step 4

Have your child help with kneading the dough.

Step 5

Knead for 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface, until dough is smooth. If dough becomes too dry, add a little water. If dough becomes too wet, add a little flour. Form into a disc and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 6

Cut the dough into 4 pieces. On a clean surface, dusted with flour, roll out 1 piece of pasta dough at a time. Roll in one direction to make a long sheet. Dough should be almost see through.

Step 7

Dust sheet with flour. Starting with the shorter end, roll dough upon itself. Cut into desired thickness. Repeat with remaining pieces. Set aside.

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
