Lighthouse Pasta Recipes 

For the pasta:

1. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl or on a clean bench top. Form a well in the centre and add in eggs, yolks and oil. Beat eggs with a fork and gradually incorporate flour from sides.

2. Bring together mixture and knead to form a dough. Add a teaspoon of water at a time if the dough is too dry, until it comes together. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Place in a clean bowl, cover with cling film and rest in refrigerator for 2 - 3 hours.

3. Divide the dough into 3 - 4 even portions. Roll each portion through a pasta machine to create desired shape. (See our pasta shape cutting guide here) 

4. Cook pasta in boiling, salted water for 3 - 5 minutes or until al dente.

For the pesto:

1. Place all the ingredients for the pesto in a food processor and pulse until well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

To assemble:

1. Transfer the pesto into a large bowl and add the cooked pasta. Mix with tongs until pasta is evenly coated with pesto. Garnish with fresh baby spinach, walnuts and pine nuts before serving.
