A simple and reliable gluten-free pasta dough recipe using rice flour that yields tender, delicious homemade pasta perfect for gluten-free diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) rice flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) tapioca starch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2–3 tablespoons water (filtered or tap), as needed

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together rice flour, tapioca starch, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry mixture. Crack in the eggs and pour in olive oil. Mix gently with a fork, gradually incorporating the dry ingredients.
  3. Add water as needed: Add 2-3 tablespoons of water one tablespoon at a time until the dough is soft but not sticky.
  4. Knead the dough: Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 7-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Rest the dough: Wrap dough in plastic wrap or cover with a damp towel and let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Roll out the dough: Divide dough into two portions and roll each into a thin sheet about 1/8 inch (3mm) thick on a floured surface.
  7. Cut into desired shapes: Use a sharp knife or pasta cutter to slice into noodles or shapes. Dust with rice flour to prevent sticking.
  8. Cook the pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook pasta for 2-4 minutes until tender but firm to the bite. Drain and serve immediately.

Notes

Keep your surface lightly floured with rice flour to prevent sticking. Don’t over-knead the dough to avoid crumbliness. Resting the dough for 30 minutes is crucial for hydration and easier rolling. If dough tears, press it back together with moisture and flour. Fresh gluten-free pasta cooks quickly; watch closely to avoid overcooking.
