Ingredients
- 200 grams chickpea flour
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour and salt. Create a small well in the center of the flour.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into the well, add the olive oil, and water. Using a fork, beat the eggs gently to combine the wet ingredients, gradually incorporating the chickpea flour to form a rough dough.
Step 3
Transfer the dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more chickpea flour as needed.
Step 4
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. This allows the dough to relax and makes it easier to roll out.
Step 5
After resting, divide the dough into four equal portions. Using a rolling pin, roll one portion of dough at a time into a thin sheet, about 1/8 to 1/16 inch thick. Keep the remaining dough covered to prevent it from drying out.
Step 6
Cut the dough into your desired pasta shape, such as fettuccine or tagliatelle. Dust the cut pasta with a little chickpea flour to prevent it from sticking together.
Step 7
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently place the cut pasta into the boiling water and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the pasta is tender but firm to the bite.
Step 8
Drain the pasta and toss it with your favorite sugar-free sauce or serve it with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
