Remember that homemade pasta cooks in a
flash! Have sauces etc. ready to serve when
you have the water boiling for the pasta.
WHOLE WHEAT PASTA
(I do the whole thing in my food processor.
Same measurements, just put liquids in first.
Process mixture until it pulls away from
sides of processor bowl.)
Directions below are written for making in
bowl or on counter.
Make a well in 2 c. sifted whole wheat flour.
Break 2 large eggs, room temperature, into
the well. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons water. 1
tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon salt.
Beat mixture in the well with a fork about
ten strokes before working in flour.
Knead by hand to make a rough looking dough.
Let it rest ten minutes. Knead dough until
the rest of the flour is used and it is
smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Divide
dough into three or four balls and place
balls in a plastic bag; set aside to rest 30
minutesbefore rolling out by hand or machine.
Roll out 1 ball at a time to desired
thickness and cut into desired shape and
width. Makes about 4 servings.
SPINACH PASTA (food processor is easiest)
Cook 10 ounces of fresh or frozen spinach;
drain well. Puree in blender with 1 large
egg, room temperature.
Make a well in 3 c. all purpose flour. Break
another large egg, room temperature, into the
well. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Beat mixture
in well about 10 strokes. Add spinach puree
