Almond Flour Fettuccine No Xanthan Gum

This homemade almond flour pasta is naturally gluten-free and low-carb, perfect for those managing Type 2 diabetes. It’s easy to make and pairs beautifully with a range of sauces.

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour (GI: 10)
• 3 large eggs (GI: 0)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (GI: 0)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (GI: 0)

Cooking Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and olive oil until fully blended.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the almond flour mixture and mix until a dough forms. If it appears too crumbly, you can add a teaspoon of water at a time until it holds together.
4. Knead the dough on a clean surface for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth. You may find it slightly more delicate without the xanthan gum.
5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. This resting time will help the dough hydrate and become easier to roll out.
6. On a lightly floured surface (using almond flour), roll out the dough to your desired thickness (around 1/8 inch thick).
7. Cut the rolled-out dough into fettuccine strips.
8. Cook the fettuccine in a pot of boiling salted water for about 2-3 minutes, then drain and serve with your favorite sauce.
