Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Red lentil flour
- 0.25 cups Tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cups Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the red lentil flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, and salt until well combined.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the olive oil and water.
Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the liquid until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough onto a clean surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle it with a little more red lentil flour.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes to hydrate.
After resting, divide the dough into four equal parts.
Using a rolling pin or pasta machine, roll each piece of dough out to your desired thickness. Dust the dough lightly with red lentil flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Cut the rolled-out dough into your desired shape, such as fettuccine or tagliatelle.
To cook the pasta, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
Drop the pasta into the boiling water and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender but still slightly firm.
Drain the pasta and serve immediately with your favorite sauce.
