Gluten-free pasta does not mean it has to be sticky, bland, or delicate. With the right mix of flour and gentle cooking, it is easy to make gluten-free pasta at home that holds sauce and tastes comforting in every bite.
1 cup rice flour ½ cup tapioca flour 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder ½ tsp salt 1 tbsp olive oil ¾ cup warm water Extra rice flour, for dusting
Mix rice flour, tapioca flour, psyllium husk, and salt in a bowl. Mix everything so that the binding agents are distributed evenly.
Add olive oil and warm water to this. Mix it and knead to make a soft, slightly stretchy dough.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes. It will absorb moisture and improve the structure, and will prevent cracks while rolling.
Dust the surface with rice flour. Roll the dough evenly and not too thin. Cut the dough into desired pasta shapes using a knife or pizza cutter.
In a vessel, boil water with a pinch of salt in it. Add the pasta and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in between to prevent it from sticking or breaking.
Drain pasta and toss it with warm sauce immediately and serve warm.
