Ingredients
Pasta Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour Make sure it’s a blend suitable for pasta.
- 3 large eggs Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- as needed water Water Add water if the dough feels too dry.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and salt, creating a well in the middle.
- Crack the eggs into the well of flour. Add the olive oil.
- Using a fork, start to whisk the eggs gently, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges of the well. Mix until combined. If the dough feels too dry, add water, one teaspoon at a time, until you achieve a manageable consistency.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and slightly elastic.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Rolling and Cutting
- Divide the rested dough into four portions.
- Roll out each portion using a pasta machine or a rolling pin until thin (about 1/8 inch thick).
- Cut your pasta into your desired shape: fettuccine, tagliatelle, or sheets for lasagna.
Drying and Cooking
- Dust the cut pasta with a little more flour to prevent sticking. If not cooking right away, hang it to dry for a few minutes or lay it flat on a floured surface.
- Boil a large pot of salted water. Once boiling, add the fresh pasta and cook for 2-4 minutes, depending on thickness.
Notes
Use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend, as not all blends are suitable for pasta. Don’t rush the resting phase for better texture. Store fresh pasta covered with a kitchen towel if cooking the same day or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze the cut pasta.
