Homemade Matcha Pasta with Spicy Sesame Sauce

Directions

1. Add all Ingredients into a large food processor (starting with flour on the bottom). 

2. Pulse until dough comes together. Blend until the dough starts to form a ball, stopping periodically to scrape down the sides. Continue to blend for 15 seconds to knead the dough.

3. Take out the dough and form into a ball. (If your dough is still grainy looking, knead it with your hands until tight and glossy.) 

4. Wrap with plastic wrap and let rest for 1 hour. Cut the dough into 4 sections roll each piece into a ball, and flatten out with your hands.

5. Run each piece of dough through your pasta machine on the largest setting. Fold into thirds and run it through a second time. Run the dough through once on each decreasing size, until the dough is very thin (If your machine goes up to size 7 then it will probably be thin enough at size 5 or 6).

6. Cut your pasta sheets in half to create a more manageable size, and run them through the fettuccini pasta cutter. Spread out your pasta so that they aren't clumped together.

7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta for 3-4 minutes, or until al dente. Fresh pasta takes very little time to cook, so keep tasting it for doneness so it doesn't overcook and become mushy! Drain but do not rinse.

For The Sauce

1. Whisk together all ingredients, besides green onions and sesame seeds. Pour over the cooked pasta and sprinkle over the green onions and sesame seeds.
