Homemade Whole Wheat Egg Noodles Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT EGG NOODLES OR SPAGHETTI NOODLES

Steps:

• Mix together the eggs and flour. If you have a mixer with a dough hook, mix the dough until it looks smooth (about 2 min). You don't want the dough to be sticky, so add all-purpose flour a little bit at a time if sticky or add a little water if too dry.
• If you don't have a mixer with a dough hook, knead dough on the counter dusted with flour to get the same results (it will take a while). You can also use your bread machine, but you'll have to reference the instruction book.
• Let dough sit 30 min (covered) to allow gluten to develop.
• With Pasta Machine: Run through a pasta machine per manufacturer's instructions. I have a Marcato Atlas 150 and roll it to a thickness of "4" for soup noodles or "5" for spaghetti noodles.
• Without a pasta machine, roll out on a floured counter top with a rolling pin to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 1/4" strips with a knife.
• Cut to desired length.
• Add to boiling water or broth and boil until tender (3-5 min). Really good to add to boiling chicken noodle soup!
• Boil all the noodles and store extra noodles in Ziploc baggies in the freezer for quick future meals.

FRESH WHOLE WHEAT EGG PASTA

Steps:

• Thoroughly sift together white whole wheat flour, semolina flour, and pinch of salt.
• On a clean surface, make a mountain out of flour mixture then make a deep well in center.
• Break the eggs into the well and add olive oil.
• Whisk eggs very gently with a fork, gradually incorporating flour from the sides of the well.
• When mixture becomes too thick to mix with a fork, begin kneading with your hands.
• Knead dough for 8 to 12 minutes, until it is smooth and supple.
• Dust dough and work surface with semolina as needed to keep dough from becoming sticky.
• Wrap dough tightly in plastic and allow it to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Roll out dough with a pasta machine or a rolling pin to desired thickness.
• Cut into your favorite style of noodle or stuff with your favorite filling to make ravioli.
• Bring water to a boil in a large pot, then add 4 teaspoons salt.
• Cook pasta until tender but not mushy, 1 to 8 minutes depending on thickness.
• Drain immediately and toss with your favorite sauce.

WHOLE WHEAT PASTA NOODLES

Steps:

• Mix together the flour, eggs, and salt.
• Add water as needed slowly. Dough should be firm, but not sticky.
• Pour dough out on a lightly floured surface until it has elasticity to it.
• Cover and let it sit for 30 minutes to relax the dough.
• Roll dough out to your desired thickness with a rolling pin or place in your pasta machine.
• There are different ways to form your pasta: Cut pasta in strips. Cut in squares, pushing sides towards the center. Wrap around a kabob stick (and let dry). *BE CREATIVE*
• Let it sit for 10-20 minutes to avoid clumping.
• Cook fresh pasta for 2-4 minutes (it will float to the top when finished).
• Enjoy :).
