That’s right! It’s like homemade Banza! But this is taken a whole step further. Once you see just how easy it is to make your own chickpea flour pasta, you’ll realize why there is such a craze around it! It fits almost every diet, is protein packed and healthy in all ways! Plus I’m packing these little pasta packs with the greatest belly healing fermented food, sauerkraut!

I’ve had homemade pasta on my recipe bucket list for the longest time! One of the first things on there (besides bagels!) These are actually a recent creation too, so it took me THIS long to try making them! At first I was just going to shape them and not stuff, but I felt stuffing them and make them dumpling/ravioli-like was more special 😉

The simplicity of a gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, egg-free, dairy-free, and vegan dinner recipe that's healthy and flavorful with the saltiness of sauerkraut and sweet spice of an applesauce topping!

Then the conundrum or a “sauce”. I felt the same way about the gnocchi I made. What to top it with?! This is such an important (and difficult) decision! The sauce can make or break a recipe. Since I was krauting it up, I looked up flavors that go well with the cabbage. I saw tons of pork recipes (ew), but also apple! The salty and sweet sounded like a good plan, but I wouldn’t just leave it at plain applesauce either!

Before we get to the sauce, let’s talk dough! For some reason I came away with battle wounds from this recipe. Both my thumb knuckles (knuckle closest to the wrist), had little circle sized scraps on them. I didn’t notice it until that night, but I’m assuming it was form the rolling pin? I’m not sure, but I digress! You’ll be fine 😉

So you simple make the dough by mixing chickpea flour, psyllium husk, and water together. Then you roll it out (it’s a bit tough) as flat as possible. The take a small glass and make your “circle” rounds. Re-roll out the dough as needed until you get at least 8 rounds. Then you stuff one side with a bit our sauerkraut (I recommend Bubbies!) and fold the circle over, sealing it with some fancy fork marks 😉

The most fun part comes last. The boiling! (All good foods are boiled!) It literally takes about 90 seconds once you drop in the pasta to the boiling pot. The float up so quickly! Just scoop them out and place them on a paper towel to drain and then plate! Well, you also need to simply mix up your sauce and drizzle that over too! Some savory, caraway, onion, dijon are mixed into some applesauce, and bam! You are done!

This is a small batch, for 2 (you and a date) or maybe you mom for mother’s day which is coming up! You can easily double or triple this and even freeze them to have on hand at any time! I actually ate this dish reheated and it was delicious! (That’s the power of the “pea”). Now that you’re dying for the recipe, here you go!

    Definitely sounds like some interesting flavors going on there! The applesauce sounds like it’d go perfectly, and kraut’s great for gut health too. 🙂

    This. Just this. I love coming here and checking out your recipes, there is always something unique, different, an item with a Twist. I love sauerkraut, apples, and of course pasta. But I never thought about putting them all in one item. I love how creative you are with your food, it’s Sparks a little bit more fun in the kitchen for us.

    This is not ravioli, its a polish dish called pierogi. Sauerkraut pierogi is one of our traditional dishes and i am actually offended that you call this dish ravioli, please stop, its stupid and annoying.

    This is an interesting recipe! My husband loves sauerkraut and I am gluten free.. hmm.. sounds like something we should try. Pinning this one for a day when I’m feeling energetic! Not even sure if I still have a rolling pin..

    Hi Rebecca,
    Wow this sounds great and since we make our own homemade sauerkraut this might be feasible for me to make & eat. I know my husband would love it since he loves anything with sauerkraut. Pinned & tweeted!

    It’s pierogi!!! Something I thought I’d never be able to eat again! Can’t wait to make these. Thank you!

    Homemade pasta, kraut, applesauce. Things I absolutely love to eat. I can almost feel those raviolis bursting in my mouth and the flavors oozing. I am SO going to try this recipe next time i make a batch of apple sauce. Thank you.

    Ah yum! I would never ever have thought to put sauerkraut into ravioli – but now I totally have to. I am so so obsessed with sauerkraut, but tend to be a ‘eat it from the jar’ kinda person – need to change that now 🙂

      Hahaha, well I am too, but I thought it was time to use it for something a little “fancier” 😉

    I craved sauerkraut when I was pregnant. It was the only time I craved it. So random! Thankfully I know that the craving I’m having for your ravioli is because of your mouthwatering pictures. PHEW!

    I grew up with sauerkraut pierogis at nearly every extended family get together. These totally remind me of that! And that sauce sounds so scrumptious too! The sauce makes the meal, so yes, an important decision. 🙂

      I remember eating pierogies ALL the time too….that’s why a semi-mock up needed to happen!
      The sauce 😉 It really can make or break!

    This is such a great idea. I’ve been on a chickpea flour kick, so I have a whole bunch of it to try this. Love the recipe, and love your adorable rolling pin!

    I’m a fan of pretty much anything that stuffed and these bad boys don’t dissapoint. I just deemed this week chickpea week on my blog, this is a great recipe to keep me on track.

    Another gluten free dough feat, you are on a baking roll! Well sorta baking, or is this cooking, idk?? But they are so cute like little ravioli dumplings 🙂 And you should be proud of me, I have been eating sauerkraut on the regular lately so I even love the filling here! (Still can’t spell sauerkraut without spell checker though haha) Savory applesauce sounds pretty special too! This is all shades of creative 🙂

      Ah! Keep eating it! I promise you will be reaping the krout benefits in no time! I can’t get enough (it’s like becoming the highlight of dinner time!) Bahahaha!

    First, that rolling pin is adorable!!!
    I can’t say I have ever had or seen sauerkraut ravioli, but sounds interesting. I have only made homemade pasta a couple times but we have talked about getting a pasta maker multiple times to make our own noodles. The girls are pasta lovers so maybe that’s what we should get and do for Mother’s Day since the hubby will be traveling and they are worried and I said we would find something fun to do and go out.

      Thank you!!!
      Do it!!!! I always wanted a pasta maker, but I’m not sure it works well when you need the pasta to be gluten-free AND vegan!

      Hahaha! Thank you! My dad had it made for me 🙂

    Yay!! I have always wanted to try chickpea flour but never got round to it. I have the ingredients so why not give it a go today! I have some kimchi which might work well in place of the sauerkraut… mmmm. I’ll let you know how I get on 🙂

    You HAVE to try Farmhouse Culture sauerkraut. It’s the bestttttt! (I actually have it on my snap from yesterday (charmcghie) haha!). Sauerkraut is so delicious. Great work with this recipe!

    • Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says

      I’ve always wanted to….it’s just really expensive at my store and the package is a smaller amount than Bubbies so I always opt for the better ROI 😛

    This is such a cool idea to make ravioli with chickpea flour! I’ve made ravioli before but never attempted a gluten-free version, and NEVER would have thought to try chickpea flour, but it certainly looks as though it worked perfectly! I’ve pinned this, I’ll definitely be making it <3

    • Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says

      Awesome!!! I knew chickpea flour was a good choice since you can make anything from crackers to socca to pancakes with it, so I had high hopes homemade pasta would work easily!

    These look incredible!! I’ve been all about chickpea flour lately AND fermented foods, so this is totally up my alley! Definitely pinning!
