The pasta I made is completely gluten free and grain free since I used red lentil flour! I have wanted this attachment for some time now but I was concerned that a wheat free dough wouldn't work, would be too sticky, or wouldn't run through.I have not had commercially made pasta in over 4 years since my body went haywire from a worsening chronic illness and suddenly could no longer eat wheat/gluten or corn. Within 6 months my life had been dumped on my head. I would react to the corn added into salt and even in tap water, leaving me in excruciating pain and violently sick. Also because of my chronic illness I have very low energy levels and get worn out exceedingly easily. So even though I figured out my pasta dough a couple years ago I rarely make it because it is so physically demanding. Plus I specifically missed macaroni noodles.I was thrilled to see the orange dough coming out of the machine the first time! It will certainly take some practice to get the noodle lengths correct but that's not a big deal at all. I think my dough is still a little too sticky as the large macaroni kept regularly sealing on the end. Next time I'll add a bit more flour to see if it works better. Red lentil flour makes for a sticky dough anyway simply because it is not wheat so it behaves differently. Out of all my tests of the kinds of flour I can still have (brown rice, garbanzo/chickpea) only the red lentil held together when cooked. Red lentil flour is super easy to grind at home. I use my WonderMill for convenience and because I have it, but before I had that it would grind just as easily in an inexpensive ($20) coffee grinder dedicated to grinding flour. Even in the grinder the red lentils pulverize easily and leave a superfine flour. I do not know where or if commercially ground red lentil flour can be bought. Grinding it at home is so super easy that i just didn't worry about it.I am also very pleased to have a pasta that is better for my diabetic spouse to be able to eat! Because of the severe food restrictions imposed by my body, there is almost no prepackaged 'convenience' foods that I can have anymore. I also can't have commercially extracted starches (like tapioca, potato, etc.) due to corn cross-contamination issues so finding flours that worked for me was far from easy. I am THRILLED to be able make noodles ahead and dry them. I have done this before with the red lentil dough and it works great. I'm only 42 years old but I thought macaroni was something I'd never be able to eat again. Funny thing about red lentils when cooked is the color changes, so these look like and FEEL like regular wheat noodles when eating them! At least to the best of my knowledge; I grew up eating homemade macaroni and cheese so I'd think I know rather well. ;DIt certainly takes a bit of work to clean up the machine, but honestly it isn't too bad. The only thing I wish I could change is to have two more die plates, one for small shell noodles, and another for mini lasagna noodles like the size found in Hamburger Helper. I would be utter thrilled to have those options! I can't stop imagining all the pasta dishes I can have again! :D---------------------------Red Lentil Egg Pasta250 g. Red Lentil Flour*3 Large Eggs1/4 tsp. Salt1.) Mix & kneed dough until fully combined.2.) Divide into 30 g. balls for 'walnut sized' portions.3.) Use pasta machine as directed.4.) Bring water to boil & cook fresh pasta for 7 minutes. Drain.Dried noodles: Boil 5 minutes & cover and let sit 7 minutes before draining. (This was the cooking directions listed for the (thicker) hand rolled dried pasta I made in the past. I'm including it here in case you needed a bit of a guide for cooking the dried pasta. The pasta from the KitchenAid attachment has much thinner walls so I'd assume the 7 minutes can be reduced but not entirely sure by how much right now.*Next batch I'm going to try 275 g. Red Lentil Flour to see if it makes a less sticky dough that doesn't seal the macaroni tubes when cutting off.
