Ingredients
Beet
Use a juicer machine to extract the beet juice. If you don't have one, you can simply blend the beets on high in a blender, and use a extra fine mesher or cheese cloth to separate the juice and the pulp.
Eggs
To help combine the flour and beet juice together, eggs are necessary for this recipe.
High protein flour
For the extra al dente texture, I recommend to use a high protein flour.
Salt
A dash of salt helps brings out the flour of the flavour of the beet juice in the pasta form.
