Tagliatelle Verde

This one’s a keeper! Bright, silky, and full of flavor (and nutrients). The lemon juice gives the dough a subtle freshness, while the semolina keeps that perfect bite we all love in homemade pasta. I mixed in a few tablespoons of Nobis Powder for an extra boost of greens. it doesn’t change the taste, just adds a beautiful olive-green color and extra nutrients.

Ingredients
  

Pasta Dough
  • 3 1/2 cup semolina flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 3 tbsp ora pro nobis powder
  • 1 tbsp lemon
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Cacio e Pepe–Style Butter Sauce
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for serving)
  • 1/4 cup reserved pasta cooking water
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • Sal and pepper to taste

Method
 

Pasta Dough
  1. In a stand mixer fitted with the flat beater, combine eggs, water, lemon juice, olive oil, Nobis Powder, semolina flour, and salt. Mix on low speed for about 2 minutes, until the dough starts coming together.
  2. Switch to your hands or a dough hook and knead briefly until a rough ball forms.
  3. Optional but recommended: Wrap the dough and let it rest for 15–20 minutes at room temperature. This gives the semolina time to hydrate and makes rolling much easier.
  4. Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Working with one piece at a time (keep the rest covered), roll through your pasta roller, start on the widest setting, and work down to setting 5 for fettuccine thickness.
  5. Cut into fettuccine (or your favorite shape) and dust lightly with flour.
  6. Cook in a large pot of boiling salted water for about 3 minutes until al dente.
  7. Before draining, reserve about ¼ cup of the pasta cooking water. you’ll need it for the sauce.
Cacio e Pepe–Style Butter Sauce
  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat.
  2. Add plenty of cracked black pepper and swirl until fragrant.
  3. Add the cooked pasta straight to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water.
  4. Toss in the Parmesan and stir quickly until it all comes together into a creamy, glossy sauce.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed, then finish it on the plate with extra parmesan.

Notes

Can be frozen (cut pasta, dust lightly with flour, freeze up to 3 months in an airtight container).

✨ Nobis Powder adds nutrients and that gorgeous olive-green hue. The flavor stays classic, just a little more vibrant.
