Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the eggs into this well.

Step 3

Add the olive oil and water to the eggs.

Step 4

Using a fork, gently beat the eggs, then gradually incorporate the flour mixture from the edges, stirring until a shaggy dough begins to form.

Step 5

Once the mixture is mostly combined, knead the dough by hand for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 6

If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.

Step 7

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate and makes the dough easier to work with.

Step 8

Divide the dough into four equal portions. Flatten one portion slightly, keeping the remaining pieces wrapped, so they do not dry out.

Step 9

Using a pasta machine or rolling pin, roll out the dough to your desired thickness, dusting with additional gluten-free flour as necessary.

Step 10

Cut the rolled-out dough into your preferred pasta shape, such as tagliatelle, fettuccine, or lasagna sheets.

Step 11

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the pasta floats to the top and reaches your preferred level of tenderness.

Step 12

Drain the pasta and serve with your favorite sauce or ingredients.
