Ingredients
  

For the Pasta:
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese This is the star ingredient that gives the pasta its chewy texture.
  • 2 large egg yolks These help bind the ingredients together and provide richness to the dough.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Rolling Pin
  • Sharp knife or pasta cutter
  • Cooking pot

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will prepare it for baking if you choose to make baked pasta dishes later.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Once the mozzarella is melted, add the room temperature egg yolks to the cheese. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined and form a dough-like consistency.
  4. Transfer the dough onto a clean surface sprinkled with a bit of almond flour (to prevent sticking). Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to your desired thickness, typically about 1/8 inch thick.
  5. Using a sharp knife or pasta cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into your desired pasta shapes. You can create fettuccine, lasagna sheets, or even ravioli!
  6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the cut pasta and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until it floats to the surface. Drain and rinse under cool water before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature egg yolks for a smoother dough.
  • Don’t overcook the pasta to avoid mushiness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
  • This pasta pairs beautifully with creamy sauces, pesto, or hearty marinara.
