Homemade buckwheat pasta

50 min
Buckwheat flour adds a lovely nutty taste to this homemade pasta. A pasta machine will help make the pasta very thin but even in the absence of a a pasta machine - you can roll them out by hand and they still taste good.

- Mix buckwheat flour, flour and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix beaten eggs and milk together in a smaller bowl; add to flour. Using the kneading attachment, mix to create a smooth elastic dough. If it appears to be dry, add an additional teaspoon of milk at a time.
- Cover and set aside for 15 minutes. Roll the dough out as thinly as possible, or pass though a pasta machine. Cut into long strips by hand or by machine. Spread them out in a single layer on a dry tea towel. They will dry out rapidly but that's OK.
- Bring salted water to the boil; add salt and a few drops of olive oil. Transfer pasta into the boiling water; reduce heat and simmer pasta until soft, about 5 minutes. Drain and serve with your favourite pasta sauce.
