Ultimate Keto Pasta Dough
This is an easy Keto-friendly pasta recipe that tastes very much like homemade egg pasta. Please take note that this recipe is only to make raw pasta dough, not a cooked dish. This pasta dough is also used in the Carb Manager Keto Homemade Ravioli w Spinach and Red sauce, which you may reference for cooking directions. The type of pasta you make will determine how you will cook it. The dough can be boiled (once dried), fried, or baked. It’s recommended you make large pasta shapes that can hold your favorite Keto sauces. Since many Keto sauces are high in fat, you’ll need a noodle that can hold heavy ingredients.
How to Make It
Step 1
Sift together almond flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Add them to a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Quickly mix in the apple cider vinegar. At a slower speed, mix in the egg and then the water. Once the dough forms into a sticky paste, transfer it to a sheet of plastic wrap. Wrap the dough and flatten it into a thin rectangular shape so it chills quickly. If you intend to freeze the dough for later use, you can keep it in a round dough ball.
Step 2
If you are using the pasta dough the same day, chill the dough in your refrigerator. You can chill the dough for 1 hour or in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to help speed up the process. Once the pasta dough is firmer and no longer sticky, you can roll it between pieces of parchment paper into a flat sheet between ⅛” and ¼” thick. While working with the dough, you can always return it to your refrigerator to chill which will help the dough from sticking. You may also lightly dust your raw dough with a Keto-friendly flour, so long as you brush away any excess before continuing.
Step 3
Shape your dough into your desired style of pasta. For inspiration, you can look at other Carb Manager recipes for styles of noodles and how to cut or shape them.
