Carb Free Pasta Dough
Ingredients:
– 2 cups almond flour
– 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack the eggs into the well. Using a fork or your hands, slowly incorporate the eggs into the flour mixture. Continue mixing until a dough starts to form.
3. Once the dough begins to come together, turn it out onto a clean, flat surface. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Take one portion and flatten it into a disc shape.
5. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a thin sheet, about 1/8 inch thick. Make sure to dust the surface and the rolling pin with extra almond flour to prevent sticking.
6. Once you’ve rolled out the dough, use a sharp knife or a pasta cutter to cut the dough into your desired pasta shape. You can go for classic spaghetti noodles, fettuccine, or even shapes like ravioli or lasagna sheets.
7. Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the second portion of dough.
8. At this point, your Carb Free Pasta Dough is ready to cook! Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and carefully drop in the pasta. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the pasta is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
9. Once the pasta is cooked to your liking, drain it in a colander and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process.
And there you have it! Your very own Carb Free Pasta Dough ready to be enjoyed. Serve it with your favorite sauce, toss it with some olive oil and herbs, or use it in your favorite pasta recipes for a low-carb twist. This dough holds up well and has a great texture that will satisfy your pasta cravings without all the carbs.
