Ingredients

  • Homemade Ginger-Infused Fettuccine
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried ginger
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Curried Sweet Potato Wasabi Sauce
  • 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
  • 14 ounces light coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon red currry paste
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated wasabi
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons coconut or brown sugar
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 16 ounces frozen peas
  • 1 pound homemade ginger pasta or stringy pasta of your choice
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  • Combine the flours and salt in a bowl or work surface, creating a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well. Using a mixer or by hand, slowly mix, incorporating the egg into the flour mixture a little at a time. Once you have a dry shaggy dough, mix in the gingers, olive oil and water. Knead until dough is fairly smooth and homogeneous.
  • Divide the dough into four portions and cover with a damp towel. Allow to rest for 20 minutes. Using a pasta maker (or rolling by hand!) thin and cut the pasta as desired.
  • To cook, boil in salted water until al dente, about 3-4 minutes. Drain well and serve.
  • Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook sweet potatoes in it until fork-tender.
  • Mash sweet potatoes. Place in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Mix in the coconut milk, red curry paste, wasabi, coconut sugar, and juice from half a lime. Turn heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes so flavors can meld. Add in the peas and cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Toss with pasta and serve.
