Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour (GI: 0)
• 2 large eggs (GI: 0)
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

1. Begin by whisking together the almond flour, eggs, and salt in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to combine them until a dough starts to form.
2. Once it starts to clump together, use your hands to knead the dough into a ball.
3. Once you have formed a dough ball, transfer it to a floured work surface, generously covered with almond flour to prevent sticking.
4. Flatten the dough ball into a disk and then cover with cling wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
5. Once the dough has chilled and rested, roll it out thinly with a rolling pin until the desired thickness.
6. Cut the pasta dough into desired shape using either a knife or a pasta maker.
7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook it for about 3-4 minutes or until the pasta is fully cooked.
8. Once cooked, drain the pasta and toss it with your favorite sauce and toppings.
