Beef Tripe Pasta

Introduction & Inspiration

The beef tripe sheets work perfectly to make 'pasta'. Clearly we're not talking about traditional pasta here with its huge carb load and detrimental ingredient profile. Rather, we are talking about fettucine style beef tripe 'pasta', which is a lot more beneficial to our health and well-being, and is delicious to boot!

Making beef tripe ‘pasta’ can be facilitated with the Fettuccine pasta attachment for the KitchenAid, if you happen to have one handy. I always wondered what would become of these attachments once I changed to a healthier way of eating. I am pleased to say this attachment has got a new lease of life, making this healthier type of 'pasta'. Otherwise, using a regular old kitchen knife or pizza cutter is just as good for cutting your fettuccine style strips and is probably quicker, but I do love my kitchen gadgets!

So go on, give this new style of 'pasta' making a try. Your body, taste buds and health will thank you for it!

Beef Tripe 'Pasta'

Main Ingredients:

1 x Beef Tripe Sheet

Recipe Instructions

Important: Make your Beef Tripe sheet as per the recipe instructions. Allow the sheet to cool down fully, before placing it in the fridge for at least one day as it needs to be cold and have slightly less moisture in it. If you make the sheet too soon, it may not cut well with the pasta attachment. Perform a test with a small piece of the sheet if need be, to check it's ready. Ignore this note if you'll be making your 'pasta' using the manual method.

KitchenAid Method

Cut your beef tripe sheet so that the width will fit into your pasta attachment.

Add a 'Fettucine' attachment to a KitchenAid device, switch the machine on to a Medium speed. Slowly feed the end of one of the sheet into the machine, placing a bowl underneath the attachment for the 'pasta' to fall into. Reserve.

Manual Method

If you do not have a machine to cut the sheet into pasta style strips, simply place the sheet on a large wooden chopping board and cut long strips with a width of approximately 5mm for fettucine.

Your beef tripe 'pasta' is ready!

Tips

As per the instructions above, place your Beef Tripe sheet in the fridge for at least one day as it needs to have slightly less moisture in it for a good cut.

Ideally, purchase your offal from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free.
