Equipment
Pasta Maker Machine
KitchenAid Pasta Cutter
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 eggs
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In the bowl of your stand mixer combine the whole wheat flour, all purpose flour and salt.
- Add in the olive oil and eggs and stir to combine.
- Attach the dough hook to your stand mixer and knead on low for 6 minutes. You may need to stop the mixer several times to make sure all the flour gets incorporated. If dough still seems dry, add water.
- Remove the bowl from the stand, cover it with a cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Separate the dough into 8 equal sections.
- To roll the dough, take a section of the dough and flatten it with your hand.
- Run the dough through the pasta rollers at the widest setting. Please be sure to use extra flour on your dough and pasta machine so that the dough does not stick.
- Fold the dough in half and run it through again on a narrower setting.
- Continue until the dough gets the desired thickness.
- Now pass the sheet of dough through the cutter side of the pasta maker using whatever shape noodle you prefer.
- Use your fingers to separate the noodles, adding more flour as needed.
- Before cooking the noodles, allow the noodles to air dry for 15 minutes to prevent clumping.
- Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
- Add in your homemade pasta, and cook for 3-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of your pasta. Fresh pasta cooks much faster than the boxed pastas.
- The noodles will float to the surface when fully cooked. Drain and use in your favorite recipes.
