3 Ingredient Homemade Gluten-Free Pasta (No Machine)
3 Ingredient Gluten-Free Pasta Recipe (No Machine)
- 1 1/2 cups 6oz/172g blanched almond flour
- 1 1/2 cup 6oz/172g tapioca starch
- 2 eggs + 2 egg yolks
- In a large bowl combine the almond flour and tapioca starch, making sure there are no lumps in the almond flour.
- Make a well in the center of the bowl and add in the eggs and egg yolks.
- Using a fork begin to whisk the eggs into the dry ingredients.
- At first, the mixture may seem dry but keep mixing. Once mostly combined and crumbly, begin to bring the dough together with your hands, kneading for about 3-5 minutes until you have a smooth dough. It may seem a bit crumbly at this stage but will get wetter after it rests.
- Cut the dough into 4 equal parts then cover with a damp tea towel to rest for about 15 minutes.
- Dust a large work surface and a rolling pin with tapioca starch. Once the dough has rested, take a piece of dough and roll it out gently until it is between 1/4 and 1/8 of an inch thick. Think thinner the better as it will puff up once cooked so factor that in.
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter cut the dough into thin even strips, or whatever thickness you desire. Carefully lift the strips up and gently separate. I found it easier to work with shorter strips (around 6 inches long).
Gluten-Free Pasta Cooking Instructions:
- To cook the pasta boil a large pot with 8 cups of water and a generous pinch of salt.
- Once the water has come to a rolling boil, carefully transfer the pasta into the water. Allow the pasta to cook 3-5 minutes, or until it floats to the top of the water.
- Remove the pasta from the pot and strain off the water.
- Drizzle the pasta with olive oil or butter to keep from sticking together. Top with your favorite sauce and parmesan cheese.
- I would not suggest storing uncooked pasta as it will dry out and break. To store cooked pasta cover and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
