A whole wheat spin on an easy classic 🍝✨
I am so happy I gave homemade pasta a shot awhile back. For so long I thought I needed a fancy machine, or that it would be way more complicated than it actually is.
Boy was I wrong!
Fresh homemade pasta is only a few simple steps away, and this version is a whole wheat spin on the classic 00 flour recipe
Ingredients:
🌸 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (plus extra for rolling/kneading)
🥚 3 eggs
🧂Pinch salt, 1 tbsp olive oil
1. Pour flour onto a flat surface, and make a well in the center.
2. Crack eggs into well, add olive oil and salt. Begin mixing and combining with hands.
3. Knead flour together 10-20min (I know it sounds long, but the longer you go the better and smoother the texture will be!)
*If mix is feeling too dry, add splashes of olive oil or water. If it’s feeling too wet, add more flour.
4. Cut dough into 6 pieces. Use rolling pin to flatten each piece to desired pasta thickness (go thinner than you think you need to!)
5. Cut pasta into desired shape, for easy linguine/fettuccine/tagliatelle/lasagne, use a pizza cutter to make long even strips.
6. Bring pot of salted water to a boil, and boil 3-5min or until pasta is floating
7. Strain & enjoy with your favorite sauce!

Making homemade pasta from scratch is an enriching culinary experience that anyone can enjoy. Whole wheat pasta is a healthier alternative to traditional pasta, providing more fiber and nutrients. To begin, gather your ingredients: 1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour, 3 eggs, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Combining these ingredients only requires mixing them on a flat surface. After kneading the dough for about 10-20 minutes, it's crucial to achieve a smooth texture. If you find the dough too dry, gradually add more olive oil or a splash of water. For a too-wet mixture, incorporate extra flour until the desired consistency is reached. Once your dough is ready, divide it into six pieces and roll out each piece to your desired thickness using a rolling pin, ensuring to go thinner than you expect for the best results. You can then cut the pasta into your preferred shapes, such as fettuccine or tagliatelle, using a pizza cutter for neat, even strips. To cook your fresh pasta, boil a pot of salted water and cook the pasta for about 3-5 minutes or until it rises to the surface. After straining, enjoy your whole wheat pasta with your favorite sauce, elevating your dinner with a nutritious twist!
