TRUROOTS GLUTEN FREE PASTA RECIPES

Steps:

• Prepare the spaghetti according to package directions.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle the chicken breast on each side with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings. Cook the chicken on both sides until no longer pink. Remove, slice into pieces, and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil, garlic and cherry tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and begin to break apart.
• Add in the pasta, chicken, remaining Italian seasoning, and mozzarella pearls and stir to combine. Cook another 3 minutes until the mozzarella starts to melt a bit.
• Garnish with fresh basil and serve!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt.  Make a large well in the center of your flour mixture and add eggs. Using a fork, beat eggs until mixed, then slowly integrate flour into eggs until no dry flour is left and a ball of dough has formed. (You may have to switch from a fork to your hands near the end of the mixing process.) Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Cut dough into quarters and wrap all but one in plastic wrap. On a lightly floured surface, roll uncovered dough into a long rectangle about 1/4” thick. Set pasta maker to widest setting and pass the rolled out dough through 2 times. Fold the short ends of the dough to meet in the center of the rectangle, then fold in half so that the dough is in quarters. Roll out again to the dough is 1/4” thick, then pass through pasta maker 2 more times. Adjust pasta maker to be 1 degree more narrow and repeat process. Continue rolling, folding, and adjusting until desired thickness is reached. Dough should be slightly translucent. Place rolled out dough onto a lightly floured surface and dust with more flour. Repeat process with remaining dough quarters.  Adjust pasta maker to desired width of noodles and feed dough through machine. Divide noodles into equally sized portions and curl into nests. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and cover with a clean kitchen towel until ready to cook. To cook: bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add pasta. Boil, stirring gently with a wooden spoon, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes.  Drain and serve with your favorite pasta sauce.
