homemade pasta

Hi
I adapted Gluten free girls fresh pasta recipe to use flours that are easy to buy in the UK and it worked really well. A great fresh GF pasta. who thought it possible?
The only faff is rolling it out and cutting it, which was a joy because its pliable and stretchy like normal pasta dough! Will definitely get my son to help next time!
*************
Here it is in a nutshell with my changes:
Dry
3oz chickpea flour
3oz brown rice flour
3oz potato flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp psyllium husks
Wet
1 egg and 2 or 3 yolks
3 tbsp water
3 tbsp olive oil
Mix the dry ingredients well and place in food processor (or pulse a couple of times in the blender to mix). Then in a mug, mix together the wet ingredients with a fork.
Add the wet mixture to your blender and pulse until you have greasy-looking crumby mixture. If it pinches together to make a doughy texture you can tip into a bowl and knead, otherwise add a little more oil and water. Its pretty fool proof though, so if you make it too wet you can always add more flour.
Knead and roll out thinly. I put a silicone baking sheet on a kitchen towel to stop it slipping and use a silicone rolling pin. Another trick is to use a flour shaker filled with corn flour and douse the rolling pin and surface with that to stop the dough sticking.
Once cut into strips/shapes, put the pasta in boiling water for 2-3mins. That's it. Drain the pasta and serve. Serves 2-3 people.
Note: To double up the quantities, it is easier to make 2 batches in your blender otherwise the blades won't mix it all thoroughly. Alternatively you could mix it all by hand in a bowl and knead well.
