If you are gluten free or have a gluten allergy there are always a few foods you miss and crave that are mostly gluten. Whether it be pizza, pasta, bread or cake, we all have one we miss the most. For most gluten free people I hear that they dream about having good pasta again. Most gluten free pasta tastes like cardboard or basically falls apart once cooked. Since finding out I have celiac disease, I have been working to perfect a homemade gluten free pasta recipe. I have gatekept my recipe for years, but am finally sharing it with you! Time to enjoy so some great pasta again!

Ingredients and Substitutions:

  • Bob’s Red Mill GF 1-1 Flour Blend – It is super important to use a good gluten free flour blend here. I use Bob’s or King Arthur’s 1-1 blend. Just make sure the blend has xanthan gum in it. Note that if you do use a different blend than Bob’s the results may vary.
  • Xanthan Gum – xanthan gum is key to this recipe. It mimics gluten on a small scale and will help hold the pasta dough and bind it together. Do not leave it out!
  • Large eggs – eggs are another key binding agent for this recipe. This cannot be left out.
  • Salt – I use a kosher sea salt, only a small amount is needed to season and flavor.

Key Steps to Making Gluten Free Pasta:

  • Pulse all the ingredients in a food processor to form the dough. If you don’t have a food processor, just mix and knead with your hands.
  • On parchment paper, roll out your dough to desired thickness. It is best not to pass it through a pasta machine to roll it out because there is no gluten, therefore the pasta machine usually makes holes in the dough.
  • Cut into desired pasta shape. Here is when you can use a pasta machine with the cutting setting on. Since it isn’t stretching the dough and cutting it instead, this is fine.
  • Boil in water for 2 minutes and enjoy!

This gluten free pasta recipe will make you feel like you are eating gluten again!

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups gluten free flour blend, I use Bob’s Red Mill 1-1
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs

Preparation:

STEP 1.

In a food processor, add the flour, xanthan gum and salt. Pulse to combine. Turn on the food processor and drop in the three eggs while mixing. Keep it going until a dough ball forms, then turn off.

STEP 2.

Line your counter with parchment paper and turn the dough onto the paper. Form into a disk with your hands. Cut the disk into halves and roll out. Dust with flour so it doesn’t stick to the rolling pin. Roll until desired pasta thickness is reached.

STEP 3.

Cut the dough into desired pasta shapes. Alternatively, you can pass the dough through the pasta machine on the cutting setting to cut into the shape you want. Dust with flour so it doesn’t stick to itself.

STEP 4.

Cook your pasta. Boil a pot of water and heavily salt it. Boil the pasta for 2 minutes. Sauce and serve!
