->Banana Pasta Dough <-

1 cup banana pulp

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 egg

2 cups semolina flour

Blend the banana, sugar, vanilla and egg together. Blend in the

flour. Knead into a smooth ball (add small amounts of ice water

15 minutes and allow to rest

for an additional 15 minutes. Roll out the dough. Lightly dust

3, and roll out again. Repeat

6 to 8 times.

Now pass the dough through the pasta machine setting the rollers

gradually down until you reach the desired thickness. The result

should be a smooth sheet of dough ready to process as you require.

Pass through a pasta machine, or cut by hand to desired size. If

processed by hand, simply roll the dough and cut into thin strips

for noodles (fettuccini).
