Homemade sauerkraut filled chickpea flour ravioli in seconds! Mix, roll, cut, stuff, boil! The simplicity of a gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, and vegan dinner recipe that’s healthy and flavorful with the saltiness of sauerkraut and sweet spice of an applesauce topping!
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 😉
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!
Sauerkraut Chickpea Flour Ravioli + Spiced Applesauce
- 1 Cup Chickpea Flour
- 1 TB Psyllium Husk Powder
- ¼ Cup Water
- ½ Cup Sauerkraut
- For the Sauce:
- ½ Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- ½ Tsp Summer Savory
- ½ Tsp Caraway Seeds
- ¼ Tsp Onion Powder
- ¼ Tsp Dijon Mustard
- Fresh Parsley (for serving)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, psyllium, and water. Mix together until the water is absorbed, then knead with your hands and form a ball.
- On a chickpea floured surface, roll out the dough as flat as possible.
- Cut 8 (mine were 2½in or so) round with the of of a drinking glass and peel away excess dough which you can roll out again.
- Now, lightly reflour the dough rounds and roll each on out even flatter.
- WIth each flat oval shape round, place about 1-2 tsp of sauerkraut on one half of the oval, then fold it over and seal the edges using the back prongs of a fork.
- Boil a large pot of water on the stove and then place the ravioli gently into the boiling water (all 8 should be fine at once, but you can do 2 batches if your pot is smaller).
- After about 90 seconds, once the ravioli float to the top, remove them with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain.
- To make the sauce, simple mix together the applesauce, spices, and dijon.
- Plate the ravioli, top with the spiced applesauce, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired!
And above is a simple image to show you the process 😉 I hope you give these a try! Even easier than the bagels! I see many more homemade pasta recipes on the horizon! If you have that chickpea flour on hand (which you should. It’s a pantry staple!), then this is what I wan to see on you dinner table tonight! We really need to start a chickpea pasta revolution! Make it worldwide!
So tell me:
+ Have you ever made your own pasta?
+ Favorite ‘krout brand? I’m a die-hard Bubbies girl! (But I haven’t really tried many others…)

Hi there! I’m totally making these next week! What could I substitute for psyllium husk powder if I don’t have any? Thanks!!
I wouldn’t sub that. You could give Ener-G Egg replacer a try.
these just look so interesting. I’ve been trying to find alternative ways to eat sauerkraut. Going to have to give these a shot. thanks!
You’ll love it! The flavors all work so well together!
These look incredible !!, I have never tried making ravioli, but I love your idea using chickpea flour!

How very interesting this recipe is. Nice way to eat sauerkraut.

Makes it even better 😉
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.
No, actually they’re made with a filling of potato and cheese.
You make this look so easy, I’m going to have to try it!
It is!!
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..
Totally! You will both love it! And perfect recipe just for 2!
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!
Marlat recently posted…“How to Control Blood Sugar Level Naturally!”

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 🙂

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. 🙂
Jenn recently posted…Orange Cauliflower
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!
I agree — the topping is an important and difficult decision 🙂 You did great with your option – what a nice combo! These look so easy to make and think of all the options! Nice!

It’s for the krout!
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 🙂

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.
Sarah recently posted…Raspberry Ricotta Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette (vegan)

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

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!
