A simple and quick gluten-free rice pasta recipe that yields tender, silky pasta perfect for comforting meals without gluten. Made with minimal ingredients and easy to customize.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) rice flour
  • ½ cup (60g) tapioca starch
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2–4 tablespoons water, as needed
  • Optional: fresh herbs or spices like chopped basil or garlic powder

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together rice flour, tapioca starch, and salt.
  2. Create a well in the center, add eggs and olive oil, and fold gently with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough is soft but not sticky.
  4. Knead dough on a floured surface for about 3 minutes until smooth and pliable.
  5. Wrap dough and let rest for at least 20 minutes.
  6. Divide dough into two portions and roll out to about 1/8 inch (3mm) thickness, dusting with rice flour to prevent sticking.
  7. Cut dough into desired shapes using a knife or pizza cutter.
  8. Boil pasta in a large pot of salted water for 2-3 minutes until tender but firm.
  9. Drain pasta and toss immediately with your favorite sauce.

Notes

Resting the dough for at least 20 minutes is crucial to prevent breakage and make rolling easier. Use plenty of salted water when boiling and cook pasta in small batches to avoid sticking. Fresh rice pasta cooks quickly, so watch carefully to avoid overcooking. For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and add extra olive oil.
