Quinoa Pasta Recipe
Print This Post
Quinoa is an ancient grain that can be used in all kinds of different foods. One of my own new favorite is quinoa pasta. Since this grain is a complete protein, pasta made from it is much healthier than the traditional kind. While you can find some ready-made noodles at your local health food store, I thought it would be fun to try out an actual quinoa pasta recipe. It was surprisingly simple to make and turned out very yummy. I served it with a simple tomato sauce and a bit of Parmesan cheese on top.
Quinoa Pasta Recipe
- 1/2 cup quinoa flour
- 1/3 cup tapioca flour
- 4 tablespoons potato flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon water
- Flour for kneading
Start by combining the 3 different flours by pouring them into a bowl. Add the salt and give everything a good stir to mix them together. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the egg, oil and water to it. Use your hands to gently scoop some of the flour over the liquid ingredients and start to mix everything together. Keep mixing until the dough is formed into a ball. Cover the bowl with a plate or some plastic wrap and let it rest for an hour on the counter.
Check the dough. If it feels very sticky, knead a little more flour into it. I used a mixture of the three combined flours for this. Once the dough is soft and pliable but no longer tacky, roll it out on some flour as thing as possible and cut it into thin strips.
If you have a pasta maker, you can of course use that as well with this simple quinoa pasta recipe.
Cook the noodles in boiling water for about 5 minutes. Drain and serve with your favorite pasta sauce.
