Servings 2 -4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
- Pinch salt
- 2 large eggs
- Water only if needed
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) unsalted butter
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Mix in the eggs and knead to bring the dough together. Only add water if absolutely needed after a few minutes of kneading.
- Once smooth, wrap the dough in plastic or place in a covered bowl and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough in half. Keep one wrapped and place the other on a lightly floured surface.
- Roll the dough by hand with a rolling pin or use a pasta machine, flouring the dough as needed to prevent sticking. Roll until about 1/16 inch (1.5 millimeters) thick or to the thinnest setting on the pasta machine.
- Cut the rolled out dough using the fettuccine attachment on the pasta machine or loosely roll up and use a sharp knife to cut the noodles into 1/4 inch (6 millimeters) wide ribbons.
- Unroll the noodles and separate to prevent sticking. Arrange in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining half of dough.
- In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder and powdered sugar.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles, in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding, and cook until they rise to the surface and are just tender, 1-2 minutes. Drain.
- In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Remove from heat once melted and toss in the drained noodles.
- Arrange among serving dishes and top generously with the cocoa sugar mixture.
- Serve immediately.
