Egg-free pasta? I’m at my wit’s end here, haha! I’m not shelling out $6 for a dozen eggs. I usually whip up a lot of pasta, using about 0.75 cup of flour for each egg. I know there are substitutes for eggs in baking, but are there any for pasta?
Pasta without egg?

Absolutely! You can make pasta without eggs and still get great results. Here are a few alternatives:
-
Water: You can simply replace the egg with water. Use about 1 tablespoon of water for every egg you would normally use. You might need to adjust the flour slightly for texture, but it should work fine.
-
Oil: Adding a tablespoon of olive oil can help with the dough’s elasticity and richness. Combine it with water for a nice texture.
-
Flaxseed Meal: Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens. This can serve as a binding agent, similar to eggs.
-
Aquafaba: The liquid from a can of chickpeas can be used as an egg substitute. About 3 tablespoons of aquafaba can replace one egg in your pasta recipe.
-
Silken Tofu: Blended silken tofu can also act as a great egg substitute. Use about ¼ cup to replace one egg.
Explore these options and see which one gives you the texture you like best. Happy pasta making!
