Homemade Whole Wheat Pasta

Zutaten

• ✓300 g Whole wheat flour
• ✓100 g Semolina
• ✓4 pieces Large eggs
• ✓1 tbsp Olive oil
• ✓1 pinch Salt

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Heap the flour and semolina on a clean work surface.

2. 2

   Make a deep well in the center.

3. 3

   Add the eggs, olive oil, and salt into the well.

4. 4

   Slowly mix the liquid ingredients with the flour from the edges using a fork until a sticky mass forms.

5. 5

   Knead the mass with your hands into a firm, smooth dough. This takes about 10-15 minutes. The dough should be elastic and no longer sticky.

6. 6

   Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

7. 7

   Divide the dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion into thin sheets using a pasta machine (or a rolling pin). The thickness depends on the desired pasta shape (about 1-2 mm for tagliatelle/fettuccine).

8. 8

   Cut the dough sheets into the desired shape with a knife (e.g., tagliatelle, fettuccine) or pass them through the appropriate roller of the pasta machine.

9. 9

   Spread the finished pasta on a floured kitchen towel or a pasta drying rack and let it dry for about 15-30 minutes.

10. 10

    Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water for 3-5 minutes (depending on thickness) until al dente.

11. 11

    Drain and serve immediately with the desired sauce.
