Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Dried basil
• 1 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, dried basil, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Mix well using a whisk or fork to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Crack the eggs into the well, then add the olive oil and water.

Step 3

Using a fork, whisk the eggs gently, gradually incorporating the surrounding flour into the mixture. Continue mixing until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a clean, floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour as needed.

Step 5

Form the kneaded dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. This helps relax the gluten and makes the dough easier to roll out.

Step 6

Once rested, divide the dough into four portions. Work with one piece at a time while keeping the others covered with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

Step 7

Roll out the dough to your desired thickness using a pasta roller or a rolling pin. Cut the pasta into your preferred shapes, such as fettuccine, linguine, or lasagna sheets.

Step 8

Dust the cut pasta with a small amount of flour to prevent sticking and set it aside in small nests or on a drying rack.

Step 9

Use the fresh pasta immediately in your favorite recipe or let it dry slightly before storing. Fresh pasta can be cooked in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes or until al dente.
