Homemade Whole Wheat Pasta Recipe

Post image for Homemade Whole Wheat Pasta Recipe

Forget your workout today?  No worries, rolling out your own pasta dough burns plenty of calories and provides you with the beginnings of a delicious meal.  Seriously, it’s a workout!!  I recommend making the pasta in the morning and letting it dry all day.  Also, this pasta dough is salty; reduce the salt in the dough if the accompanying dish is already salty.

  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 Tbs Olive Oil

Mix flour, salt, and baking powder.  Stir in water and olive oil and knead until smooth, about five minutes.   Roll into a ball, cover, and let rest for about 30 minutes.  Roll dough out to desired thickness and cut as you like.  Let dry a while before cooking.  The photo shows the noodles cooked in a light garlic herb broth with spinach and roasted zucchini.  Quite tasty!

*note* if you have a large family, you may want to double the recipe.
