Start by whisking the tapioca and almond flours together, then create a well in the middle and crack in two eggs and a little water. Use a fork to whisk the eggs together, slowly incorporating the flour until the dough is thick enough to be kneaded by hand. Add more water if the dough is too dry.
Transfer the dough to a cutting board or clean workstation dusted with tapioca flour, and knead until the dough is smooth. If the dough is sticky, add more tapioca flour a little at a time and knead again. There’s no gluten in the dough, so don’t worry about overworking it!
Roll the dough into a ball and cover with a clean kitchen towel, then set aside for 30 minutes to rest. Meanwhile, start boiling a large pot of water.
Use a rolling pin to roll out the pasta nice and thin, then use a chef’s knife to cut the pasta into noodles about ½” wide. You can also use a pasta machine or kitchen attachment to make any style of pasta you prefer, like ravioli or bowties.
Because the pasta is fresh, you only need to boil it a minute or so. When the pasta floats, it’s ready! Drain, and serve hot topped with olive oil, salt, and pepper or Paleo marinara sauce with fresh basil.
