Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Can pasta be made using nut flour? If so does anyone have a recipe or suggestion? My kids aren't really digging the squash noodles and I have to admit that I kind of the miss the pasta myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi, April, No, sadly, you really need the elasticity of gluten to make pasta. Those who have tried just get a mess that falls apart. How about a very thin omlette cut into thin strips? How about egg-drop soup? I make something similar to the chicken cupcakes on www.pecanbread.com and cut them into wide strips for a chicken-flavored noodle. Someone on the scd recipe creators list just posted how he makes lentil dumplings that are steamed in a mold. The ingredients are kind of advanced, though. mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't tried it yet, but it is on the menu for next week. I am hoping that if I don't tell anyone it is squid, they may not notice! Basically, you cut the squid into long noodle shapes and simmer in the sauce for just 2-3 minutes. If you over cook it, it will be rubbery. I think I will try it separate from the sauce, just in case it gets a thumbs down, I won't have wasted a batch of sauce! Good luck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 One of my scd cookbooks suggests using a veggie peeler to peel zucchini " noodles " that you can steam off in the oven on a cookie sheet (moisture will come out) and serve with sauce or make " lasagna " out of. There is supposedly a gadget you can stick into the zucchini that will make curls for you. I am looking arund in kitchen stores for it.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Please re-post if you find the zucchini tool...I'd be really interested in giving that a try! and once my son starts, I'm sure he would too. some of his favorite dishes are pasta! Thanks! kari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 We are doing very well with zucchini " noodles " -- peel the zukes with a potato peeler, saute in whatever oil you can use and add the topping of your choice. Also, spaghetti squash has become a major hit in our house. ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I think the tool you all are looking for is called a mandoline. I may be wrong, but that's the name of the one I know about.
