So let's get started and elevate your pasta game with this delicious and healthy recipe! To make your own camu camu infused pasta dough, you'll need the following ingredients:

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semolina flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, and camu camu powder. Mix well to combine.
  2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs and olive oil. Using a fork, slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-10 minutes. The dough should be slightly tacky but not sticky.
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before using.
  5. Once rested, divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll out each piece into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin.
  6. Cut the pasta sheets into desired shapes and cook in boiling salted water until al dente, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite sauce and enjoy the added nutritional benefits of the camu camu powder!
