Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, guar gum, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs and olive oil. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. The dough will start to come together, but it may be dry at this stage.
-
Begin kneading the dough with your hands, adding water a little at a time as needed to bring the dough together. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until you have a smooth and elastic dough. The guar gum will help give the dough structure and flexibility.
-
Divide the dough into smaller sections for easier handling. Using a pasta machine or a rolling pin, roll out each portion of the dough into thin sheets. Dust the dough with some extra gluten-free flour to prevent sticking.
-
Cut the rolled-out dough into your desired pasta shape – whether it's fettuccine, linguine, or any other shape you prefer. You can also use a pasta machine attachment for cutting.
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to the instructions on the package, usually for about 3-5 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it in a colander and rinse it briefly with cool water to stop the cooking process. Your gluten-free pasta with guar gum is now ready to be incorporated into your favorite sauce or dish.
