Pasta „Orechiette“

Ingredients for 2 people:

Basic recipe for pasta:

• 200 g Werz rice flour mix, gluten-free
• 200 ml boiling water
• 100 g Werz rice starch, gluten-free
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 100 g geriebener Grana Padano
• 1,5 tsp lime or lemon juice

Preparation:

• 1. First, mix the Werz rice flour mix with boiling water, salt, lime or lemon juice and oil for 6 minutes in a kitchen machine until you get a smooth dough.
• 2. Afterwards add the Werz rice starch little by little.
• 3. Divide the dough into portions in order to form 1 cm big rolls one by one.
• 4. Cut the rolls of dough in 5 mm thick slices and press these with your thumb to form the typical Orecchiette Pasta.
• 5. Now cook the noodles in boiling water in portions, drain them and rinse with cold water.
• 6. While cooking all portions, put the cooked noodles in a pot with a bit of water. Rice noodles are more sticky than wheat flour noodles. That makes the further process easier.
• The rice noodles taste great with a pesto or tomato sugo.

Enjoy!
