This delicious Paleo Reginette Pasta is made with a kale and mushroom meat sauce. This handmade pasta is cut into wide wavy edged ribbons with a pastry wheel.
I have been day dreaming of making this pasta for months and it is more beautiful than I even imagined. My son had his best friend for dinner yesterday and he ate his whole plate! Kid approved!

After rolling the pasta out, I used a Trudeau Pastry Wheel set to 1” to cut the pasta into wavy ribbons. Then, I removed one of the wheels and cut the ribbons into 4-6″ strips. I also trimmed the tops and sides so that there are wavy edges all along the ribbons.
Knead the edge scraps into the next ball of pasta dough so you have minimal waste. You can see in the photo below how I cut the edges off, it is okay if you do not get a perfect square. You can cut some of the edges in an angle and that looks lovely too.
There is a lot going on in this recipe so let me give you some tips for efficient cooking. The first thing I did was get a big pot of water to boil.
Then, I started on the kale and mushroom meat sauce. I sautéed the onion, browned the ground beef and turkey and added the remaining ingredients.
Just be sure to add the kale the last 5 minutes so that it does not overcook.
Once the sauce is simmering, make your paleo pasta dough. I use finely ground blanched almond flour and tapioca flour to make my paleo reginette pasta dough.
My favorite company to order flour from is Anthony Goods. They have the best prices, top quality, organic flours and bulk discounts. I also have a cooking video tutorial on my basic Paleo Pasta recipe post.
I make my paleo pasta dough in a Kitchen-Aid Mixer, which saves me a lot of time. But if you don’t have one, not to worry! You can mix this by hand. I would do all my batter and dough mixing with a Danish dough hand whisk. It is very handy for mixing dough or batters if you do not have a mixer.
Once your dough is mixed, be sure to knead it for a few minutes. I had my 6 year old son help me with this part and he had lots of fun! It is really nice that he loves to help me in the kitchen. He pretty much made the dough and kneaded it, I did the rest.
I make my kitchen functional so that my kids can help, don’t under estimate children, they are fully capable of helping out with meal preparation. Yes, there are mistakes made in the kitchen, but they are opportunities for them to grow and learn. Patience is key when bringing kids into the kitchen to help, but once they learn, they are a HUGE help with meal preparation. You can read my blog post, “Teach Your Gluten Free Kids To Cook” for several tips on this subject.
So back to this yummy paleo reginette pasta! Once you have kneaded your dough, separate it into three balls of dough and place back into your mixing bowl and cover bowl with a towel. You do not want to leave your dough on the counter because it will dry out.
Dust a large cutting board or a clean counter generously with tapioca flour. Dust your rolling pins and hands with tapioca flour. Roll out a ball of dough. Flip, dust and roll. Repeat until your dough is 1/8 inch thick.
Now you get to cut it with your Trudeau pastry wheel as mentioned in the steps and photos above. (Refer to second photo and paragraph)
Once your pasta is cut, boil for 3 minutes and drain in a pasta colander. I roll the dough, cut the pasta and boil it. Stir it gently to make sure it does not stick and set a timer. Once it’s done, gently scoop out the paleo reginette pasta with a pasta claw and into the pasta colander. I set a timer so I can roll out the next batch of pasta. It takes just 3-4 minutes to roll out each ball of dough. This process goes pretty fast!
Once the pasta is fully cooked and drained, toss it into your sauce and serve. This will serve 6 bowls.
I reheat leftovers in a toaster oven at 425 degrees for 15 minutes but I am sure you can microwave it too.

Paleo Reginette Pasta with Kale & Mushrooms
- Total Time: 42 minutes
- Yield: 6 1x
Ingredients
- 1½ cups blanched almond flour (I buy from Anthony Goods)
- 1½ cups tapioca flour (also known as tapioca starch) plus ¼ cup for dusting
- 1½ teaspoons Himalayan Salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 egg yolks (total egg mixture equals ¾ cup)
- 2 Tablespoons of avocado oil (added to boiling water)
- 4 quarts of water
Instructions
- Place water and avocado oil in a large pot. Turn heat on high and bring to a boil.
- In a large mixing bowl or kitchen-aid, whisk together almond flour, tapioca flour and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the flour and add eggs. Whisk eggs with a fork and slowly incorporate flour. Roll dough into a ball.
- Sprinkle a large cutting board with a tablespoon of tapioca flour. Knead dough on floured surface for 5 minutes. If dough is too wet, add a bit of tapioca flour. The dough should not stick to your hands and has the texture of play dough.
- Separate dough into 3 equal sized balls, place 2 balls in a bowl and cover with a dry towel or plastic wrap so it does not dry out.
- Sprinkle tapioca flour onto your surface and place a ball of dough on top. Sprinkle ball with more tapioca flour. Using a wooden rolling pin, roll your ball of pasta out to the size of a 3 inch disk. Flip the pasta and sprinkle with more tapioca flour. If it sticks to your rolling pin, sprinkle with more tapioca flour. Continue to roll, flour and flip. Repeat this step until your pasta is ⅛ inch thick or less. You will now have a large irregular sized square. Using a zig-zag pizza cutter, cut uneven edges off of pasta and set aside. Cut pasta into 1-inch wide ribbons. Cut the long ribbons into 6 inch ribbons so they are easier to handle. Cook for 3 minutes. Use a pasta claw to carefully remove pasta and drain in a pasta colander.
- Repeat step 6 with remaining 2 balls of dough. Once all pasta is cooked and drained. Toss into mushroom & kale meat sauce.

Hi Ester,
There are two different almond flours in the links above – one for Honeyville at Amazon and the one within the recipe itself, for Nuts.com’s almond flour. Which one do you prefer? I have been looking for a finer-grind flour than Bob’s, which I get in bulk at a big-box discount store,
Thanks, I can’t wait to make some Paleo Pasta!
Hi Jen, I currently order from Nuts.com because I buy in bulk and there is a bulk discount with them. Although both Nuts.com and Honeyville blanched almond flours are finely ground and will give you the same results in this recipe. Let me know how it goes! Xoxo, Ester
