Sotto’s Gluten Free PastaSotto’s Gluten Free Pasta
Finding the right formula wasn’t as simple as mixing special flours with water and eggs. Combs added xanthum gum as a binder to mimic gluten and replaced the water with milk to form a workable dough. Even so, the dough falls apart easily and can’t be rerolled, so it’s best to nail it the first time. Combs also found that cutting the dough into thin strands results in a pasta that’s too soft.
