Gluten-Free Cheesy Pasta
Ingredients:
For the Gluten-Free Pasta:
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
For the Cheesy Sauce:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk (or unsweetened almond milk for dairy-free)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Gluten-Free Pasta
- In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack in the eggs. Add olive oil.
- Mix with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough thinly and cut into your preferred pasta shape (e.g., fettuccine, spaghetti). Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Cook the Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 3-5 minutes or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheesy Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in gluten-free flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 3-5 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and stir in mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Combine and Serve
- Toss the cooked pasta in the cheesy sauce until fully coated.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and fresh herbs like parsley or basil, if desired.
