Divide dough into 4 equal portions and use a pasta machine to roll out (see Tips). Cut into tagliatelle. Use cornflour to dust the dough if it becomes sticky.

Tips
You can buy lupin flour at health food stores or online.

If you do not have a pasta machine the pasta can be rolled out thinly and cut by hand. If using a pasta machine, Gluten free pasta should not be rolled any thinner than the NO.4 setting on your pasta machine.

{ A CLASSIC NORTH INDIAN LENTIL DISH, THIS CAN BE DRAMATIC LOOKING, AS THE YELLOW LENTILS STAND OUT FROM THE SMALLER BLACK PULSES. MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT IS LUSCIOUS AND DELICIOUS. ONCE THE LENTILS SOFTEN, THE MORE YOU STIR THEM THE CREAMIER THEY BECOME. LENTILS AND BUTTER GO REALLY WELL TOGETHER, SO I DO RECOMMEND YOU ADD A LITTLE BUTTER AT THE END BEFORE SERVING. THIS IS GREAT WITH RICE OR INDIAN BREADS. }
