Ingredients
- 200 grams Red lentil flour
- 50 grams Tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 150 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the red lentil flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well with a whisk until all dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 2
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the water and olive oil.
Step 3
Using a fork or your hands, gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a rough dough starts to form. Continue kneading the dough in the bowl until it becomes smooth and consistent, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it gently, ensuring it has a smooth texture without sticking to your hands. Let it rest for about 10 minutes, covered with a damp cloth.
Step 5
Divide the rested dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion out into a thin sheet using a rolling pin or a pasta machine, aiming for your desired pasta thickness.
Step 6
Cut the pasta sheets into your preferred shape, such as fettuccine or spaghetti. Dust with a little more red lentil flour to prevent the strands from sticking to one another while you finish preparing the entire batch.
Step 7
Heat a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the pasta is tender yet firm (al dente). Be sure to stir gently to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Drain the pasta and serve immediately with your favorite sauce or toppings.
