Ingredients
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.
