Bean Vs. Potato

[kolka]

I have recipes for Bette Hagman's Potato/Tapioca/corn pasta and the light bean mix. Has anyone tried both of these? Which is better?

Is there another recipe that works really well for pasta: ravioli, pirogi, etc.?

I have made my own pasta with other recipes than hers, but Tinkyada is so much better. I have tried bean flour based pasta from the health food store and I didn't care for it very much-too... beany.

I would try the potato/tapioca/corn to start.

I make homemade noodles fairly often. We make this dough into Pelmini (just like Pierogi). It's really easy and rolls out just like "regular" dough.

For a large batch:

1-1/4 C Brown Rice Flour

1/2 C Potato Starch

1/4 C Tapioca Flour

generous 2-1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum

1 Tbs. oil

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2+ C Water

Sift dry ingredients 3 times. Add oil and water. You will probably need to add a little more water, but do it slowly. Stir until dough forms a ball. Make sure it is not dry! It should be smooth and almost creamy. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll out on board dusted with tapioca flour

I had a problem with another Hagman recipe that used the bean flours, a strange aftertaste...so I made the non-bean recipe. I loved it! I made wide noodles with pesto, cheese stuffed raviolis and mushroom stuffed too. Each was a delight! It works in my pasta machine and just rolling out with a rolling pin. Easy to use too.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have to make my own because my daughter only eats pizza, ravioli and chicken. Now that I have the pizza recipe that was pinned a few days ago, I only need to master ravioli. It can't have any dairy in it (i.e. parmasan or such) because she's casein free, too. If anyone has a good ravioli recipe, I'd love to give it a try.
