BASIC WHOLE WHEAT PASTA DOUGH

Steps:

• Put it into a mixer with bread hooks or a food processor, and knead until really smooth.
• I suppose you could also do this by hand, but I haven't tried it!
• We've also substituted 1/4 of the flour with kamut, buckwheat etc. to add extra flavor, and the recipe suggested that chopped spinach, herbs, or tomato paste could be added.

WHOLE WHEAT PASTA

Steps:

• Stir together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour and salt in a medium bowl, or on a clean board. Make a hollow in the center, and pour in the olive oil. Break eggs into it one at a time, while mixing quickly with a fork until the dough is wet enough to come together. Knead on a lightly floured surface until the dough is stiff and elastic. Cover, and let stand for 30 minutes to relax.
• Roll out dough by hand with a rolling pin, or use a pasta machine to achieve the desired thickness of noodles. Cut into desired width and shapes. Allow the pasta to air dry for at least 15 minutes to avoid having it clump together.

WHOLE WHEAT PASTA NOODLES

Steps:

• Mix together the flour, eggs, and salt.
• Add water as needed slowly. Dough should be firm, but not sticky.
• Pour dough out on a lightly floured surface until it has elasticity to it.
• Cover and let it sit for 30 minutes to relax the dough.
• Roll dough out to your desired thickness with a rolling pin or place in your pasta machine.
• There are different ways to form your pasta: Cut pasta in strips. Cut in squares, pushing sides towards the center. Wrap around a kabob stick (and let dry). *BE CREATIVE*
• Let it sit for 10-20 minutes to avoid clumping.
• Cook fresh pasta for 2-4 minutes (it will float to the top when finished).
• Enjoy :).
