How to Use Sourdough Starter in Fresh Pasta

Question

I have been making sourdough pancakes and sourdough bread, but have not made sourdough starter pasta yet, how can I use sourdough starter into linguini pasta from using your recipe of all purpose flour, olive oil, eggs recipe that you posted recently?  How can I incorporate my sourdough starter to that and  add it to your pasta recipe?  thx.

Hi Tim -  Are you referring to this recipe from the Pasta Grannie? When adding starter to a recipe you need to account for the flour and water in the starter in your pasta recipe. This is best done using a scale. So, for example, if you have 7 ounces of starter to use in your pasta you'd need to take out 3 1/2 ounces of flour and 3 1/2 ounces of water from the pasta recipe to account for that addition. Hope that helps! Best, Lynn C.
