How to Make It
Step 1
Add ground flaxseed and warm water to a small dish, and stir to combine. Leave the dish aside for 5 minutes or until the flaxseed congeals into a thickened paste. Meanwhile, sift together almond flour, salt, and xanthan gum in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and add the egg and the thickened flaxseed mixture. Stir the ingredients together until you form a dough, then use your hands to knead the dough until all the dry ingredients are absorbed.
Step 2
Transfer the dough to a piece of plastic wrap, and knead the dough further if necessary. Wrap the dough in the plastic, and flatten it into a thin rectangle so the dough chills quickly. Chill the dough in your refrigerator for 1 hour, or chill the dough in your freezer for 20 minutes and another 10 minutes in the refrigerator. Once the dough is chilled, roll it out between two pieces of parchment paper to between ⅛”-¼” thick. Trim any edges as necessary, and use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 3”x1” rectangles.
Step 3
One by one, pinch together the centers of each rectangle to make a bow tie shape. Press the dough so it seals in place as one piece of noodle instead of two separate sides touching. Arrange all shaped noodles on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper. Set the noodles in your refrigerator, uncovered, to dry out for 24 hours. After 24 hours, you may cook the noodles or transfer them to an airtight container to keep stored in your refrigerator for weeks at a time.
Step 4
When it’s time to cook your noodles, fill a large pot with water. You can salt the water, but it’s recommended you under-salt the water compared to how much salt you use for wheat pasta. Bring the water to a boil, then drop your noodles into the water. Boil the noodles for 5-7 minutes or until they reach your desired tenderness. Check on the noodles frequently with a slotted spoon to ensure they don’t stick together and are cooking evenly. Transfer all cooked noodles to a serving dish to cool before eating.
