Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Small Pot
  • Plastic wrap

Ingredients

  • 250 grams cauliflower, chopped
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour about 250 grams
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  • Boil the cauliflower until fork tender, about 7-8 minutes. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the water you boiled it in.
  • In a blender add the cauliflower and the 1/4 cup of water from the pot. Blend until smooth. You want this to be the texture of mashed potatoes, but not too watery.
  • In a bowl, add your flour and cornstarch and whisk together. Make a well in the center of the flour and add in the egg and 1 cup of the cauliflower mash.
  • Gradually whisk the flour in with the egg and cauliflower, until you for a rough dough. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • After the dough has rested, cut into four equal pieces and roll them out into long tubes, about 12-18 inches in length and 1 inch in diameter. Cut into 1 inch pieces.
  • Now you can either boil them until they float, or bag and freeze them for a later date.
