Ingredients:
* Flour (150 g)
* semolina/suji (150 g)
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 3/4 cup water (150 ml)
* 2 tsp olive oil
* Turmeric (optional)
Ingredients for mushroom sauce:
*250 gms mushrooms fresh and or mixed variety
*1/4 cup cheddar or parmesan or mix
*1/2 cup cream
*1 tbsp Butter
Method to make the dough:
Mix the flour, semolina and salt in a bowl. Create a well. Pour in water and olive oil, mix together until well combined. Transfer to a working surface and knead to a smooth and soft dough, about 8-10 minutes. (Add more flour if the dough is too wet, add more water, if too dry).
Form to a ball, wrap in cling foil and let chill in the fridge for 1/2 hour. Cut pasta (see step-by-step pictures in the text above). After the dough has been refrigerated for 30 minutes, place it on a floured working surface and thinly roll it out using a rolling pin (or pasta machine, if you have one).
Dust with more flour (to prevent sticking) and loosely roll it up. Use a very sharp knife and cut the roll into strips. Use your fingers to unroll the noodles and lay them loosely into several bundles to create noodle nests. To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente for about 2-3 minutes & strain. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
Method for the sauce:
In a pan add nutter on low flame with fresh cooking cream, followed by the cheese. Cook this all on a low flame till it comes together. Add the pasta water to get your preferred consistency. Add the drained pasta to your sauce and serve hot.
