Red-Pepper Pasta

I made this at the beginning of the week when I wanted something for real for dinner.

(You know not just cracker's and cheese) and my parents were away for the weekend.

So I had that moment of realization when the red peppers just touched the flour mixture that I needed to make them less solid somehow, so they'd mix with the pasta. 

Not so fun to pick chopped red pepper bits from the dough!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour
• 2 extra large eggs
• 2 teaspoons olive oil or water if needed
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt 
• 1 medium red pepper, chopped
• olive oil

 

Directions:

Saute pepper in olive oil. Once tender, blend until smooth. Combine ingredients in medium sized bowl. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin until the dough is 1/16 of an inch thin (the thinner the better). Cut out the dough into whatever type of pasta you desire (linguine is easiest). Bring a pot of water to boil and add pasta. Cook until pasta is al dente (8-10 minutes).
