Steps:
- Whisk together gluten-free flour blend, chickpea flour, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk eggs and oil in a small bowl to combine.
- Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and stir with a fork to incorporate; mixture will be crumbly. Tip out onto a surface and knead until a smooth dough forms, about 3 minutes. Form dough into a ball and wrap tightly in plastic. Chill at least 1 hour and up to 1 day to allow flour to hydrate (the longer you can let it rest, the better).
- Roll out pasta according to pasta machine directions or roll out and cut by hand.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flax meal and 9 tablespoons of cold water. Set aside for 15 minutes, until thickened and gel-like.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the brown rice flour, quinoa flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Create a well in the center of the mixture. Pour the flax mixture, remaining ¼ cup (60 ml) cold water, and olive oil into the well. Begin to mix dough together with spatula, then transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead until dough comes together and there are no dry spots remaining. Transfer dough back into bowl and cover. Let rest for 20 minutes to allow the flours and xanthan gum to hydrate.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Season generously with salt.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a flat rectangle. Working 1 portion at a time, lightly dust with flour and use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out to a long, thin rectangle about 3 inches (7 cm) wide and 12 inches (30 cm) long and ¹⁄₁₆-inch (1 ½ cm) thick.
- Feed the rectangle through a pasta roller, starting on the thickest setting and gradually increasing the setting with each pass until the dough is approximately half as thick, but not so thin that it tears.
- Cut the pasta sheets in half. Feed each half through a fettuccine cutter and twirl each portion into nests on the prepared baking sheet while you cut the rest of the pasta.
- Boil the pasta for 2-3 minutes, until al dente but not falling apart.
- Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce of your choosing.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right flour blend: Not all gluten-free flour blends are created equal. Some are better suited for pasta than others. Look for a blend that is high in protein and low in starch. Some good options include: King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten-Free Flour, Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour, and Cup4Cup Gluten-Free Multipurpose Flour.
- Add eggs or other binders: Eggs help to bind the dough together and make it more elastic. If you are vegan or allergic to eggs, you can use a flax egg or chia egg instead. Other good binders include psyllium husk powder, xanthan gum, and guar gum.
- Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten in the flour and make it more smooth and elastic. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and pliable.
- Rest the dough: After kneading, let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes. This will help the dough to relax and make it easier to work with.
- Roll the dough out thinly: The thinner you roll the dough, the more tender the pasta will be. If you have a pasta machine, use it to roll the dough out to the desired thickness. If you don't have a pasta machine, you can use a rolling pin.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Pasta is cooked al dente when it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will help to prevent it from becoming mushy.
Conclusion:
Making gluten-free pasta at home is a rewarding experience. With a little practice, you can create delicious and healthy pasta dishes that everyone will enjoy.
