testaroli recipe: flat grilled pasta

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat and cost-effective.

chicken

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Canned chicken is a budget-friendly protein option.

Mix semolina flour and pastry flour in a bowl with a pinch of salt.

Gradually add water while stirring until a homogeneous dough forms, adding water until the dough is fluid without lumps.

Let the dough rest for 30 minutes to avoid lumps.

Heat a cast iron pan until very hot and grease it with two drops of olive oil using cooking paper.

Spread the dough in the pan to make a layer as thin as a crepe.

Cook until the edges are crispy and the consistency is right, then flip it over.

Season the cooked testaroli with pesto genovese, spreading some on the dish bottom.

Serve the testaroli immediately, optionally topped with mushrooms, tomato, or fresh tuna and sprinkled with shredded cheese.
