Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups gluten free all-purpose flour blend with xanthan gum
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 –2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 –4 tablespoons water as needed

Equipment

  • Equipment Needed
  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork or whisk
  • Rolling pin or pasta machine
  • Sharp knife or pasta cutter
  • Clean work surface

Method
 

Mix the Dough
  1. Add gluten free flour and salt to a bowl. Make a well in the center and add eggs and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms, adding water gradually if needed.
Rest the Dough
  1. Shape dough into a ball, wrap, and let rest for 15–20 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate and makes rolling easier.
Roll the Dough
  1. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until thin. Handle gently to avoid cracking.
Cut the Pasta
  1. Cut into desired shapes such as fettuccine, tagliatelle, or sheets for lasagna.
Cook the Pasta
  1. Cook in well-salted boiling water for 2–4 minutes, stirring gently, until tender but firm.
Serve
  1. Drain and toss immediately with sauce or olive oil.
