Ingredients
- 1 cup Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup basil, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Directions
Make the Noodles:
- Place the Kodiak mix on a clean work surface and make a well in the center.
- Crack the two eggs into the Kodiak mix well and use a fork to slowly blend the egg into the mix.
- Once a shaggy dough forms, use your hands to work the mixture into a firm dough ball. Knead the dough ball for five minutes, until smooth and pliable. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Roll the dough out as thin as you can and use a pizza cutter or knife to cut into 1/8” wide strips. Toss the noodles with a little Kodiak mix so that they don’t stick together. Cover until ready to use.
Simple Summer Pasta:
- Fill a pot with 6 cups water and a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil.
- While water is coming to a boil, heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium/high heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and sauté until they start to blister, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until noodles float and are fully cooked.
- Drain the pasta and add the noodles to the tomato mixture. Toss with tongs until the pasta is covered evenly in the oil.
- Serve the pasta topped with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese.
*Note: Fresh noodles should be cooked within 24 hours. Store in the fridge, covered, if not using immediately.
