Gluten free homemade pasta in 3 simple steps

Have you ever felt the satisfaction of making pasta at home?it's similar to baking your first cake.The feeling is amazing when you see the pasta merrily swimming in the boiling water.Mixing and mingling with the pasta sauce like they were having an intimate moment.It's not only quick but it's very simple,too.Pasta is usually made with all purpose flour or wheat flour.But there are people who are allergic to gluten or who suffers from diseases such as Celiac disease.Where one is not allowed to consume pasta made of grains like wheat,barley etc.But this gluten free pasta is an easy quick fix solution for this.

Ingredients serves-1-2 people
  • 1 cup of chickpea flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp of oil(olive oil is preferred)
  • pinch of salt
Method
  1. Mix everything in a bowl and forma dough.The dough should be neither very stiff of very soft.


  2. Dust chickpea flour generously on the rolling board and roll out the dough.(At times there are chances that it might break while rolling.Thus dust with enough flour or roll it between parchment paper.)
  3. Roll the dough thinly or as you like and cut it into desired shapes (the chickpea flour pasta is quite delicate to handle.Thus,while cutting it into shapes make sure it can sustain the heat of the boiling water and does not break down.)Boil water with a little salt and oil.Once it comes to boil put the pasta in.Let the pasta cook for around a minute or two.It depends on the shape of the pasta.Once al dente take it out of the water quickly.As they are delicate they cook fast.Cook it in your desired pasta sauce and Eat it up!:)
