Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: parmesan rind

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without dairy.

Mix all-purpose flour and semolina flour in a mound on a clean surface.

Make a well in the center of the flour mound.

Add eggs, olive oil, and salt into the well.

Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the egg mixture until combined.

Knead the dough by hand for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Divide the dough into smaller portions for easier rolling.

Roll out each portion using a pasta machine or rolling pin until thin.

Cut the rolled dough into desired shapes (fettuccine, lasagna, etc.).

Dust the cut pasta with flour to prevent sticking.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 2-4 minutes depending on thickness.

Drain the pasta and toss with sauce or olive oil.

Serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
