Vegetarian Greek Pasta

Since we bought the juicer we've made fresh pasta a handful of times. And each time we've made pasta, I've made pesto to go with it. Pesto is amazing but I figured it was time to try a something new.


Pasta
1 cup flour
1 egg*
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tbs water
*I've  found some vegan pasta dough recipies I just haven't tried them yet.

Mixed ingredients in a bowl and then kneaded dough. After, I let the dough rest for about an hour. Finally, I ran it through my Omega juicer right in to a pan of boiling water. The pasta only takes about 3 minutes to cook when it is fresh.

After the pasta was cooked, I drained it and tossed in the ingredients below.

Tossed with
1/2 cup crumbled feta
2 tbs diced black olives
1/4 sauteed red onion

Other than letting the dough rest, this is a quick meal to whip up. Cooking the pasta, and preparing the other ingredients took less than twenty minutes.

I really loved the feta/olive combination. And after a particularly bad experience with a red onion a few years ago, I can see myself wanting to use more red onions in the future after eating this dish.

The Carnivore also really liked this dish. I served his with a hand breaded (panko, salt, pepper) and pan friend chicken breast.

I will certainly make this dish again this winter when I'm craving olives. But, I could also see myself serving it cold this summer at a picnic.
