Ingredients
Pasta Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour Ensure it has xanthan gum for best results.
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- as needed N/A Water Add until dough reaches a smooth, pliable consistency.
Instructions
Mixing the Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt. Whisk them together to ensure an even mix.
Incorporating the Wet Ingredients
- Create a well in the center of your flour mixture and crack in the eggs and olive oil. Using a fork, gently whisk the eggs and olive oil together, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges of the well.
Kneading the Dough
- Once the mixture becomes too thick to stir, use your hands to knead the dough in the bowl. If the dough feels too dry, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a smooth, pliable consistency.
Resting the Dough
- Cover the dough with cling wrap or a kitchen towel and let it rest for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flour to hydrate evenly.
Rolling Out the Pasta
- Divide the rested dough into four pieces and cover portions not currently in use to prevent drying out. Use a rolling pin or pasta machine to roll each piece out to your desired thickness.
Cutting into Shapes
- Once rolled out, cut the pasta into desired shapes, such as fettuccine or tagliatelle. Dust with additional flour to prevent sticking if necessary.
Cooking the Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 2-4 minutes depending on thickness, keeping an eye on it as fresh pasta cooks quickly.
Enjoying Your Creation
- Once cooked to your liking, drain the pasta and toss it with your favorite sauce or toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
Select a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend with xanthan gum. Don’t skip resting time for better dough texture. Keep an eye on the pasta while cooking to avoid overcooking.
