Ingredients

PASTA

1 2/3 cup Rice Flour
1 cup almond flour or another gluten free flour of choice
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)
1/3 cup tapioca flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

SAUCE

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
2 medium zucchini, diced
1 tablespoon Rice Flour
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried basil
16oz/450g package mixed seafood, defrosted if frozen
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1

Combine all pasta ingredients in a food processor fitted with a dough blade and process until a firm dough is formed. Divide the dough into 5 balls and cover with a kitchen towel.

Step 2

Flatten one of the dough balls and dust with Gluten-Free Rice Flour, then run a few times though the widest setting on a pasta machine (on most machines it is setting 9 or 10). Continue running the dough through the narrower settings until you reach setting 3 or 2 work well (the thickens should be around 0.08 in or 2 mm). Set aside on a kitchen towel and repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 3

Pass the rolled dough though the fettuccine cutter attachment and spread the pasta over a kitchen towel. Cover with another towel or plastic food wrap and set aside.

Step 4

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the onions until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and the Japanese Gluten-Free Rice Flour; cook, stirring, for about 1 to 2 minutes, then pour in the wine, tomato sauce, and dried basil. Cover with a lid and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Add zucchini and seafood and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the seafood is cooked; stir in the chopped parsley and turn off the heat.

Step 6

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1 teaspoon salt and cook the fettuccine for 2 minutes, then drain.

Step 7

Serve the fettuccine immediately, topped with the sauce.

Cook’s Notes

The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or it can be frozen for up to 3 months.
For variety, instead of a seafood mix, make the sauce with one of your favorite seafoods, such as prawns, clams, or crab.
