Easy Homemade Pasta Recipe with Fresh Milled Flour
Making pasta from fresh milled flour in your own kitchen is an easy way to add a kick of nutrition to your daily meals.
Ingredients
- 300 grams of Fresh Milled Flour 2 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Place flour onto countertop or into a shallow bowl.
- Add salt to the flour and use your fingers to gently mix together.
- Make a well in the middle of your flour pile and add in eggs and oil.
- Using your fingers or a Dutch Whisk, break up eggs and mix wet ingredients together. Working from the center out, continue mixing wet and dry ingredients together until all the flour is hydrated. Form dough into a ball and let rest for twenty minutes.
- Knead dough by hand for three minutes, and let the dough rest for another 15 minutes.
- If using a pasta maker, roll out and shape pasta according to the machine's directions.
- If making by hand, roll dough out into a large rectangle with a rolling pin until it is transparent enough to let light through. Dust the surface with flour and roll up into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut noodles 1/8-1/4 inch in width.
- Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large stockpot. Place pasta in the water, bring back to a boil and cook for three minutes.
- Drain pasta and serve with your sauce of choice!
