Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 50 grams Tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Water (if needed)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, and salt.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Crack the eggs into the well and add the olive oil.
Using a fork, break the yolks and start to combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until a shaggy dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead it gently for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and pliable. If the dough feels too dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it just comes together.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow the moisture to evenly distribute.
After resting, divide the dough into 4 portions. Keep the portions you’re not working with wrapped to prevent them from drying out.
Lightly flour your work surface with gluten-free flour. Roll out one portion of dough with a rolling pin or use a pasta machine to your desired thickness. Repeat with the remaining portions.
Cut the rolled-out dough into your preferred pasta shape (e.g., fettuccine, tagliatelle, or use a pasta cutter for sheets). Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the pasta and cook for 2-4 minutes (fresh pasta cooks quickly). Test a piece for doneness to your liking.
Drain the pasta and toss with your favorite sauce or olive oil. Serve immediately and enjoy your improved gluten-free pasta!
