🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative with a cheesy flavor.

To a food processor, add almond flour, tapioca starch, and sea salt and pulse to combine. Add egg and egg yolks and pulse until a doughy texture forms. If still tacky and it sticks to your hands, add a bit more almond flour and tapioca starch a little at a time until it's more of a moldable dough.

Sprinkle a rolling pin and a cutting board or clean, flat surface with a little gluten free flour. Divide the dough mixture into two even pieces and set one aside, covered. Transfer the other half to the floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll out dough into a very thin layer, adding more tapioca starch or gluten free flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut pasta into roughly 1/2-inch-wide strips (or other desired shape). Dust cut pasta with more tapioca starch or gluten free flour to prevent sticking. Then carefully set aside and repeat this process with second half of pasta dough.

In the meantime, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water well, then add pasta and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and serve with desired sauce. Garnish with red pepper flakes and/or vegan parmesan cheese to elevate the pasta even more.

STORAGE: Store leftover cooked pasta in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a saucepan with desired sauce. Uncooked, unrolled pasta dough can be stored tightly sealed in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

FREEZING: If freezing, we recommend either freezing the unrolled ball of dough then thawing before rolling out and boiling, or rolling out, cutting into desired shapes, dusting with tapioca starch or gluten free flour to prevent sticking, and letting air-dry for 30 minutes to 1 hour, then freezing in a sealed container for up to 1 month.
