One serving has 303 kcal and 15 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of niacin (58%), vitamin K (58%), vitamin A (53%), riboflavin (51%), selenium (42%) and thiamin (39%). Ready in 235 minutes.
- Preparation: 210 min
- Cooking: 25 min
- Makes: 1 serving (483 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Dairy-free
- Contains: celery, egg, gluten, poultry
Ingredients
- 30 g Flour, all-purpose
- 15 g Egg
- 0.5 g Salt
- 350 g Chicken stock, homemade
- 40 g Carrot
- 30 g Parsley root (or parsnip)
- 15 g Celeriac
- 2 g Parsley, fresh
Method
- Knead the flour, egg and a pinch of the salt into a very firm, smooth dough, adding a few drops of water only if it won't come together. Wrap it and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough out very thinly, about 1 mm, and cut it into squares of 1.5-2 cm.
- Lay a square on a ridged csiga board (or a clean wide-toothed comb or gnocchi board), set a thin wooden stick across one corner and roll it towards the opposite corner, pressing lightly, so the square wraps around the stick and takes on ridges. Slide it off; it looks like a small ridged snail shell.
- Spread the pasta out on a cloth and leave it to dry for at least 2 hours; dried csigatészta keeps for weeks in a jar.
- Bring the stock to the boil with the rest of the salt, add the carrot, parsley root and celeriac cut into sticks, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.
- Add the csigatészta and simmer for 5-8 minutes, until tender.
- Serve hot, scattered with chopped parsley.
