Homemade Fat Free Pasta Recipes

HOMEMADE (FAT FREE) PASTA

Steps:

• Put the flour into the bowl of a food processor.
• Pulse while adding the egg substitute.
• This will produce a soft ball of dough.
• Turn out onto a floured towel or board and knead the dough into a single ball that is glossy and elastic.
• Put in plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes.
• FLOUR the rollers of a pasta machine.
• Cut the dough in quarters; flour all over and flatten.
• Put the first piece of dough through the largest opening on the pasta machine 3 times, folding the dough in half after each time through.
• Then put it through each successively smaller opening until it has gone through the smallest.
• Repeat this process for the remaining 3 pieces of dough.
• Put each of the thin pieces of dough through the wide cutters on machine.
• Hang and dry 10 minutes.

LOW FAT ROASTED GARLIC TOMATO PASTA

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to the packet instruction but by using cooking spray or even better without any fat(it's manageable!), drain them and keep aside.
• In a heated pan, spray cooking oil and roast garlic until brown, then add in tomatoes and roast on low flame for good 15 -20 minutes or until liquid evaporates.
• Cool the mixture and blend into a sauce consistency, I like to keep the sauce a bit chunky but if you prefer can blend it smooth.
• In the same pan used above, spray oil and pour the sauce and cook it for 10 minutes or so adding in salt, pepper and Italian mixed herbs.
• Slowly cook the cause until the liquid thickens and add in pasta to mix well, Adust the spices and simmer for 5 more minutes.
• Sprinkle chilli flakes and garnish with fresh basil.
• Finish it off with a measured 20 to 30 grams cheese depending upon your daily quota. I would prefer to do it on individual portions depending upon the choice.
• Serve with any optional sides like spiced tofu or extra protein f your choice.
