| Combine flours, salt, and xanthan gum (Availabe in most health food stores and replaces the gluten) Beat eggs lightly and add oil. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and stir. This will feel much like pastry dough. Work together into a firm ball. Knead a minute or two.
Place ball of dough on your bread board and roll as thin as possible. You should be able to see the board through the dough. The dough is tough and, although almost transparent, will still handle well. Slice the noodles into very thin strips or, if using for lasagne, into 1-1/2 x 4 rectangles. The pasta is now ready to cook, or to freeze uncooked for later use.
Cook the pasta in salted boiling water to which 1 tablespoon of oil has been added for 10 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness and the size of your pieces. You will have to test for doneness.
Makes 3 servings as noodles alone, 5 to 6 servings in a mixed casserole.
Spaghetti: Use the spaghetti cutter on your pasta machine. If you don't have a pasta machine roll the dough very thin and cut your spaghetti as narrow as possible. This may turn out a bit uneven, but no one will notice when it is hidden under spaghetti sauce. Cook for 10 minutes in boiling salted water.
Chow Mein Noodles: Make the pasta and cut as if for spaghetti. Then cut these strips into 1- to 1-1/2 pieces. Drop uncooked into hot oil and cook for a few seconds (they will probably take less than 1 minute). Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Then use immediately or freeze.
Makes about 5 to 6 cups chow mein noodles.
