Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams chickpea flour
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour and salt. Create a small well in the center of the flour.
Crack the eggs into the well, add the olive oil, and water. Using a fork, beat the eggs gently to combine the wet ingredients, gradually incorporating the chickpea flour to form a rough dough.
Transfer the dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more chickpea flour as needed.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. This allows the dough to relax and makes it easier to roll out.
After resting, divide the dough into four equal portions. Using a rolling pin, roll one portion of dough at a time into a thin sheet, about 1/8 to 1/16 inch thick. Keep the remaining dough covered to prevent it from drying out.
Cut the dough into your desired pasta shape, such as fettuccine or tagliatelle. Dust the cut pasta with a little chickpea flour to prevent it from sticking together.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently place the cut pasta into the boiling water and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the pasta is tender but firm to the bite.
Drain the pasta and toss it with your favorite sugar-free sauce or serve it with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
