Hi Kristin, while it is certainly possible to make pasta with the Keto Wheat Flour, our test kitchen has not yet formulated a specific recipe using the Keto Wheat Flour. We would suggest using our recipe for Fresh Pasta as inspiration. Since this flour does require more liquid, you may want to consider adding an extra egg or a few tablespoons of extra water to achieve a consistent dough. Another thing to note is that using a traditional pasta machine (like the Atlas Pasta Machine) to roll the dough will be your best bet here. It can work well for sheets of pasta (lasagna or ravioli), or sheets to be cut into linguine, etc. but using an extruder type machine may not give you the best results with this dough since it can be a bit more chewier and elastic than a traditional flour based recipe. Keto doughs tend to "snap" back more when working with them, so you may find the need to let the dough relax for a few moments throughout the process.
