Today, I was quite daring and decided to craft some vegan, gluten free, soy free pasta. Although I’ve always considered myself quite the chef, I’ve have rarely made regular pasta from scratch, let alone gluten free pasta. Sure it was tricky as there was no glue-ton (pardon my pun) or egg to hold it together. Still, I was creative and the result was tremendous. My family’s only complaint was that I did not make enough for thirds. I dubbed the final dish, prima pasta!


Pasta Recipe:

2 Cups gluten free flour blend

½ cup gluten free potato flour 

¼ cup italian gluten free, vegan crackers

¼ th cup flax seeds

3 tsp gluten free, vegan egg replacement powder 

6 tbsp water

½ cup almond milk 

1 tsp salt

—-

Large pot of boiling water

2 tbsp olive oil 

1 teaspoon salt 

Combine dry ingredients. Blend the crackers and flax seeds into a fine powder. Whip the egg replacement with the water. Add the almond milk as well as the egg replacement and stir. The process of combining the wet and dry ingredients will take its time but it should begin to form a dough after a while.

Once you have a solid dough, form it into a ball and cut a segment (about ¼th) away. Cover the remaining dough with a wet cloth. Prepare a receiver plate by placing a wet paper-towel on a large, flat cutting board. Place a sheet of wax paper on a separate board. Roll the dough into a ball with your hands. Flour it well and place it between two sheets of wax paper on your board. Roll the dough so it reaches a ¼ cm thickness or less. Once rolled, remove the top sheet of wax paper and cut strips into the dough. Carefully place the uncooked pasta onto your receiver plate.

Repeat this process until the dough is gone. Make sure the salt and olive oil are added to the boiling water. Carefully immerse the noodles into the boiling water and boil for 5-10 minutes. The finished noodles should be floating in the water. Strain into a colander and serve any way you please!
