Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 4 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the eggs and olive oil to this well.
Step 3
Using a fork, slowly incorporate the flour mixture into the eggs, stirring until a sticky dough begins to form. Once it becomes difficult to mix with the fork, use your hands to knead the dough until it's smooth and fully combined.
Step 4
Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it with plastic wrap. Let it rest at room temperature for around 15 minutes. This helps the xanthan gum absorb the moisture and makes the dough easier to handle.
Step 5
After the dough has rested, cut the ball into four equal portions. Take one portion and keep the others covered to prevent them from drying out.
Step 6
Lightly dust a clean work surface with almond flour, then roll out the dough portion with a rolling pin until it's as thin as you can manage without tearing it. You may need to dust the dough with more almond flour if it becomes sticky.
Step 7
Use a sharp knife or a pasta cutter to slice the flattened dough into thin strips, mimicking traditional pasta shapes like linguine or fettuccine.
Step 8
Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the remaining dough portions.
Step 9
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully add the pasta and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the pasta floats and is tender.
Step 10
Drain the pasta gently in a colander and serve immediately with your favorite low-carb sauce or topping.
