Ingredients

• Coconut flour - 1 cup
• Eggs - 2 large
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Fresh wild garlic or ramps - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Fresh dill - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - to taste
• Pine nuts - 2 tablespoons, toasted (optional)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine coconut flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add eggs and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes.
3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface (using coconut flour) until it's about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into fettuccine strips using a sharp knife or pasta cutter.
4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
5. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
6. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet along with the chopped herbs (parsley, wild garlic, dill), lemon juice, and black pepper. Toss to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
7. Serve warm, garnished with toasted pine nuts if desired.
