Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Chickpea flour
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Water
Instructions
Place the chickpea flour in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into the well of chickpea flour, using a fork to gradually incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients.
Add water if necessary, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. It should be firm but not sticky.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Divide the rested dough into four pieces. Keep each piece covered as you work.
Using a pasta machine or a rolling pin, roll out each dough piece into thin sheets. Aim for about 1/16 inch thickness.
Cut the sheets into your desired pasta shapes such as fettuccine or tagliatelle.
Let the pasta dry slightly on a floured surface while you bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the pasta in boiling water for 3-6 minutes until it floats to the surface and is al dente.
Drain and serve immediately with your choice of sauce.
