How to Make Basic Whole Wheat Pasta Dough
- In a large bowl, combine 3 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Gradually add 1 ½ cups warm water, mixing with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into fourths. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion using a rolling pin or pasta machine to your desired thickness.
- Cut the pasta into your preferred shape using a pasta cutter or knife.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and serve immediately with your favorite sauce.
