Whole Wheat Pasta

From allrecipes.com

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 4 eggs
• 2 tsp olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Stir together the flours 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 thickness, width and/or shapes. Allow the pasta to air dry for at least 15 minutes to avoid having it clump together when cooking.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Fresh pasta cooks very quickly. It will float to the surface when fully cooked. Drain, and use as desired.
