Which Flour To Use For Homemade Pasta?


FinsUp

Recommended Posts

I am going to attempt (with the help of my Italian neighbor) to make some ravioli. I have some Authentic Foods Multi Blend gluten-free Flour which I understand I can substitute directly for regular, all-purpose flour. Or I could try the pasta recipe from Wheat-Free Recipes and Menus by Carol Fenster which uses brown rice and tapioca flours, potato and corn starches, xanthan gum, and gelatin powder. Has anyone tried either of these approaches? Our local natural foods store carries one pound of frozen gluten-free cheese ravioli (10 pieces) for $19.00! Egads!

Here's a post from another thread. I don't know if this will help because he doesn't specify what flours or whether there is Xanthan gum in it. I have made noodles using Bette Hagman's recipe and they were good except for tasting and smelling very eggy. I think your Italian neighbor could see if this recipe will work. Let us all know how it turns out!

All you need for the dough is (for 1 person):

100 g of gluten-free flour mix;

1 egg (all of it);

1 table spoon extra virgin olive oil.

The time required is much shorter than ordinary homemade pasta, 'cause it's not a good idea to let pasta layer dry out: they'll break!

I get helped by using a bowl, in which I put almost all flour. Into it I add at a time the egg and the olive oil. I stir it all with a spoon. Then, when the dough starts to be drier, I shape a ball with my hands, I put it on the table and I handle it as grandma would. Once the dough is homogenous, I can either cut it into spaghetti (with the proper machine), or into layers, which will be then cut into tagliatelle rather than lasagne...

As ordinary homemade pasta, it is to be boiled in salted water for a few minutes. Then your pasta can be flavoured with a sauce. Sauces can range from very dry (aglio olio e peperoncino = garlic, e.v. olive oil and chilly) to something made with tomatoes, cream or even fish!!

Many greetings from Italy

      Oh I definitely am doing that!  I'm having a "last hurrah" leading up to the endoscopy and I am making sure to eat as much gluten as I can now.  I will say I am BLOATED but I've been this way for so many years, it's kind of my norm.  Just a couple more weeks until I have answers though, I hope!

      It’s great that you’ve scheduled a doctor’s appointment to address your symptoms, especially given your family history of autoimmune diseases, including celiac disease. Your symptoms—such as stomach pain, chronic diarrhea, nausea after gluten consumption, joint pain, and headaches—do align with common signs of celiac disease, so it’s definitely worth discussing with your doctor. To help your doctor understand your concerns clearly, consider writing down a detailed list of your symptoms, including when they started, how often they occur, and any patterns you’ve noticed (like symptoms worsening after eating gluten). Mentioning your family history of autoimmune conditions will also be helpful, as celiac disease has a genetic component. You might also ask about getting tested for celiac disease, which typically involves blood tests and possibly an endoscopy. Avoid cutting gluten out of your diet before testing, as this can affect the accuracy of the results. Hopefully, your doctor can provide clarity and guide you toward the right next steps—hang in there, and good luck with your appointment!

      Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) is not a common symptom of celiac disease, but there can be occasional overlap—particularly in children. Celiac disease typically presents with symptoms like chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies, while CVS is marked by repeated, intense vomiting episodes separated by periods of normal health. In rare cases, undiagnosed celiac disease can cause recurrent vomiting that mimics CVS, and symptoms may resolve on a gluten-free diet. Because of this, celiac disease should be ruled out in anyone diagnosed with CVS, especially if there are other gastrointestinal or nutritional concerns. However, vomiting alone is more often related to other conditions such as migraines or autonomic dysfunction.

      First, be sure to eat tons of gluten in the two weeks leading up to the endoscopy--like 4 slices of wheat bread a day. Talk to your doctor about when to go gluten-free, but normally you can do so after all tests are done.

      Be aware that putting your child on a gluten free diet ahead of an official celiac diagnosis will invalidate any attempt to arrive at an official diagnosis. If at some point in time after commencing a gluten free diet you wish to have your child tested for celiac disease, he/she would need to go back to eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months leading up to the testing date. And it is often the case that once gluten has been withdrawn for a significant amount of time, the reactions are much stronger when going back on it.
