Fresh Gluten Free Pasta Recipes

FRESH GLUTEN FREE PASTA

Steps:

• Place the flour in a medium bowl and create a well in the center. Add the eggs and egg yolk into the well. Using a fork break up the eggs, slowly starting to mix the flour into the eggs a little at a time. When the mixture forms a rough dough, pour the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and kneed for a 2 to 3 minutes to bring it together. Cut into 4 pieces and wrap three of them tightly with plastic wrap.
• Dust the the first piece of dough with gluten free flour and flatten slightly with the heel of your hand. Be generous with the flour. Using a pasta roller set on the thickest number, roll the pasta into a sheet. Dust with additional flour as needed. Fold the sheet in thirds and press down. Put the dough through the roller another time. Repeat this two more times. Be patient with this step. The dough may crack slightly but the more you fold it and put it through the roller dusted with flour, the smoother it will get. Slowly start to reduce the thickness of the roller until you reach the desired thickness of the pasta. (We prefer the number 4 or 5 on our roller) Cut the sheet into desired pasta shape and length. Continue with the remaining dough.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Season generously with salt. Add the pasta and cook for 1 ½ to 2 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Serve tossed with parmesan cheese and your favorite pasta sauce.

FRESH GLUTEN-FREE PASTA

Steps:

• In large bowl, whisk together brown rice flour, tapioca starch, and xanthan gum. Add eggs. Switch to a wooden spoon and stir until a dough forms. Generously dust your counter with brown rice flour. Turn dough out onto counter and knead a few times until fairly smooth.
• Divide dough into four equal pieces and work with 1 piece at a time, keeping the rest covered. Press the dough to flatten it slightly. Using a pasta machine set at the widest setting, run the dough through 2 times. Continue rolling dough through successively narrower settings until you reach the second-to-last setting.
• Cut dough sheet in half horizontally and pass each through the fettuccine cutter. (The spaghetti setting is too thin for this gluten-free pasta.) Dust pasta with brown rice flour and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough pieces.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook half the batch of pasta until tender, about 5 minutes. Toss with sauce. Repeat with remaining pasta. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the flax meal and 9 tablespoons of cold water. Set aside for 15 minutes, until thickened and gel-like.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the brown rice flour, quinoa flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Create a well in the center of the mixture. Pour the flax mixture, remaining ¼ cup (60 ml) cold water, and olive oil into the well. Begin to mix dough together with spatula, then transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead until dough comes together and there are no dry spots remaining. Transfer dough back into bowl and cover. Let rest for 20 minutes to allow the flours and xanthan gum to hydrate.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Season generously with salt.
• Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a flat rectangle. Working 1 portion at a time, lightly dust with flour and use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out to a long, thin rectangle about 3 inches (7 cm) wide and 12 inches (30 cm) long and ¹⁄₁₆-inch (1 ½ cm) thick.
• Feed the rectangle through a pasta roller, starting on the thickest setting and gradually increasing the setting with each pass until the dough is approximately half as thick, but not so thin that it tears.
• Cut the pasta sheets in half. Feed each half through a fettuccine cutter and twirl each portion into nests on the prepared baking sheet while you cut the rest of the pasta.
• Boil the pasta for 2-3 minutes, until al dente but not falling apart.
• Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce of your choosing.
• Enjoy!

FRESH GLUTEN-FREE PASTA

Steps:

• Combining the Flours
• Sift the corn flour, quinoa flour, and potato starch into a large bowl. Add the xanthan gum, guar gum, and salt and stir. Sift the entire mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
• Forming the Pasta Dough
• Put the eggs and egg yolks into the bowl of dry ingredients. Run the stand mixer on medium speed with a paddle attachment until the dough feels fully formed, about 3 minutes. The final dough should feel firm yet still pliable, a little like playdough.
• Making the Pasta
• If you are using a pasta machine, cut the ball of dough into quarters and roll out each piece of dough to about a 1/2-inch thickness. We like to roll out each piece between 2 pieces of parchment paper. Lightly flour both sides of the dough with a bit more potato starch. Run the dough through the machine, increasing the setting each time, until the dough is paper-thin and long. If the pasta sheet starts to break, it is thin enough.
• If you are making the dough by hand, we suggest you cut the ball of dough into 8 pieces, and then cut each of those pieces in half, so they are about the size of golf balls. Roll out each piece of dough as thin as you possibly can.
• For fettuccine, use the fettuccine setting on the pasta machine. If you are cutting the dough by hand, you want ribbons of pasta, about 1/4-inch wide. For spaghetti, use the spaghetti setting on the pasta machine. If you are cutting the dough by hand, you want thin strings of pasta.
• For ravioli, cut the rolled-out pasta into 2-inch-square pieces. Dollop the filling in the middle of a square of pasta. Brush the edges of the pasta with an egg wash. Place another pasta square on top and press down, crimping the edges. (Having a ravioli cutter on hand helps with this process.)
• For lasagna, leave the pasta in long sheets.
• To cook the pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Put the pasta shape of your choice into the boiling water. When the pasta rises to the surface, take a little piece and taste it. You should be able to bite into it without it falling apart. (With gluten-free pasta, it's a fine line. One moment it's al dente, and the next it's one big ball of mush, so watch the pot.) Cooking times will vary for the different shapes. Fettuccine generally takes 4 to 5 minutes, spaghetti 3 to 4 minutes. Ravioli takes a little longer, about 5 to 6 minutes. The cooking times will differ in each kitchen, depending on how thin you were able to roll out the dough. Let your taste be the judge.

GLUTEN-FREE FRESH PASTA

Steps:

• Whisk together gluten-free flour blend, chickpea flour, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk eggs and oil in a small bowl to combine.
• Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and stir with a fork to incorporate; mixture will be crumbly. Tip out onto a surface and knead until a smooth dough forms, about 3 minutes. Form dough into a ball and wrap tightly in plastic. Chill at least 1 hour and up to 1 day to allow flour to hydrate (the longer you can let it rest, the better).
• Roll out pasta according to pasta machine directions or roll out and cut by hand.
