INGREDIENTS:
* 7 grams high-quality cannabis flower (for the infusion base)
* 1 cup extra virgin olive oil (you will use 1/4 cup for this recipe)
* 1 1/2 cups "00" flour (plus extra for dusting)
* 1/2 cup high-quality Dutch-processed cocoa powder
* 3 large eggs, room temperature
* 1/2 tsp sea salt
* 1 tbsp water (if needed for hydration)
DECARBOXYLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
* Preheat oven to 240°F.
* Break the cannabis flower into small, uniform pieces to ensure even heat distribution.
* Spread the pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
* Bake for 30-40 minutes until the botanical material is a toasted golden brown.
* Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before beginning the oil infusion.
INFUSION INSTRUCTIONS:
* Place 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil and the cooled, decarboxylated flower in a double boiler.
* Simmer on low heat, keeping the temperature between 160°F and 180°F to prevent degradation.
* Infuse for 3 hours, stirring occasionally with a silicone spatula.
* Strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve lined with double-layered cheesecloth into a glass container.
* Measure 1/4 cup of the infused oil for this recipe and store the remainder in a cool, dark cabinet.
PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:
* Sift the "00" flour and cocoa powder together onto a clean stainless steel work surface or into a large bowl. Add the salt.
* Create a wide well in the center of the dry ingredients.
* Crack the eggs into the well and add the 1/4 cup of cannabis-infused olive oil.
* Use a fork to gently whisk the eggs and oil together, gradually incorporating the flour from the inner walls of the well.
* Once a shaggy dough forms, begin kneading by hand. Knead for 10 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and deep chocolate in color. If too dry, add water by the teaspoon.
* Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
* Roll out the dough using a pasta machine or rolling pin to your desired thickness (Level 6 or 7 on most machines).
* Cut into fettuccine or pappardelle strands.
* Boil in a large pot of salted water for 3-5 minutes until al dente.
* Drain and toss immediately with browned butter or your choice of gourmet sauce.
CHEF TIPS:
Ensure the cocoa powder is sifted meticulously to avoid bitter clumps in the dough. For a striking presentation, serve with a dusting of orange zest to highlight the terpene profile.
