There’s nothing more delicious than fresh pasta, but for those of us who react to gluten and avoid other grains, we just can’t indulge. Spaghetti squash (in the pressure cooker) or cabbage noodles are okaaaaay, but if you’re craving fresh pasta, it’s hard to find a good substitute. That’s why I’m so excited about this gluten free, lectin free pasta!

I have heard great things about Cappello’s lectin free pasta, but dang is that $$$$$$!!

This recipe is so easy and it’s quick! You could also use this lectin free pasta dough to make other treats like ravioli or dumplings.

My kitchen is minimalist, and I promise you – no fancy equipment needed here. I whipped up a batch of noodles without a pasta maker OR food processor. In all honesty, a rolling pin is pretty helpful, but if you don’t have one, a large glass will work in a pinch.

Lectin Free Pasta Recipe

This delicious pasta dough comes together with just 4 ingredients and tastes JUST like fresh egg noodles! 

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 cup tapioca flour (also called tapioca starch) PLUS extra for dusting
  • 1 cup almond flour (super fine texture)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • olive oil

Instructions

  1. Mix together tapioca flour, almond flour and salt in a bowl.

  2. Make a well in the flour mixture and crack in eggs. Stir eggs with fork, and work your way out, incorporating more and more of the flour. 

  3. Once the egg is mostly incorporated, knead with your hands, adding in a bit more tapioca flour if the dough sticks to your fingers. Divide dough into 3 portions. 

  4. Dust a cutting board with tapioca flour, and dust a rolling pin. Take 1/3 of dough and lightly dust before rolling out to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a pizza cutter to cut into desired thickness of noodles. I like to use a large spatula to scoop up noodles so they don't break.

  5. In a large pot, boil 4 quarts of water and drizzle in about a tablespoon of olive oil. Once water is boiling, add noodles and cook for two minutes. 

  6. Remove from water with a slotted spoon and place in pasta strainer. Drizzle with some olive oil to keep noodles from sticking. Repeat process until all dough has been cooked. 

Recipe Notes

**It's important to make sure you are using a superfine almond flour. Almond meal won't work in this recipe.

Don’t be too hard on yourself when you’re making this lectin free pasta. Even if your noodles aren’t perfectly even or a few noodles break, don’t sweat it! It’ll still taste delicious! Plus, practice makes perfect so that’s a great excuse to try and try again.

    Can you use cassava flour in place of the almond? I live in Australia and its hard to get super fine almond flour and most of it is ground with the skins on.

      Yes, but you may need to add an extra egg because the cassava will soak up the liquid more.

          Maybe you’re thinking of lecitihin, which eggs do contain. Lectins are not the same.

            If you want to dry it – just make the dough, cut, and dry. Boil when you want to eat it.

      If you have a large pot you might be able to. You want the noodles to have some space to boil and not touch each other as they tend to stick together if there isn’t a ton of space for them to float around.

      If you have a pasta rack, you can hang the pasta there and wait 10-12 hours for it to dry. I don’t have a rack, so I just spread them out on a baking sheet and leave out til dry. Once dry, you can store in an airtight container in the pantry (no need to refrigerate). Hope that helps! Thank you SO much for trying and reviewing my recipe.

    Thank you for this recipe! Have been craving noodles. So I just made these. Easy recipe – 1/2 cup cassava – 1/2 cup arrowroot – salt and 2 eggs. .. was a bit dry so I added 1/2 tbls of white truffle oil. My daughter gave me a bit of ham from Easter, which I had diced and frozen, and I had some asparagus in the refrigerator. Great combo and wonderful noodles. I live alone so drying 1/2 of the noodles for another time. These noodles will also take care of my craving for chicken and dumplings also… Just cut wider, maybe square cook and add to the chicken and vegetables that have been braising for an hour or so. I have been looking for an easy recipe for noodles. This is it. Three ingredients and done. It took me longer to find the flours than it did to make. I started water boiling before I got ingredients together. mixed – rolled – cut and viola – we have noodles.
