Best Ever Gluten-Free Pasta
Ingredients:
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (ensure it contains xanthan gum)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Water as needed
Directions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- On a clean surface, mound the gluten-free flour and make a well in the center.
- Crack the eggs into the well, add olive oil and salt.
- Using a fork, gently beat the eggs and gradually incorporate the flour from the edges until a dough starts to form.
- Knead:
- Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- If the dough is too dry, add water a teaspoon at a time.
- If too sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour.
- Rest:
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
- Roll and Cut:
- Divide the dough into smaller portions.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion to your desired thickness.
- Cut into your preferred pasta shape (fettuccine, tagliatelle, or use a pasta machine).
- Cook:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta and cook for 2-4 minutes or until al dente (gluten-free pasta cooks faster).
- Drain and serve immediately with your favorite sauce.
Enjoy your delicious homemade gluten-free pasta!
