Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, as needed)
Directions
Step 1
Place the whole wheat flour on a clean surface or in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mound.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into the well, ensuring that the edges of the well are high enough to prevent the eggs from spilling out.
Step 3
Using a fork, beat the eggs gently, gradually incorporating a small amount of flour from the edges of the well.
Step 4
Once the mixture becomes too thick to stir with a fork, use your hands to begin kneading the dough.
Step 5
Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes, either on the surface or by pressing and folding in the bowl, until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too dry, add 1–2 tablespoons of water, a little at a time, until the dough comes together.
Step 6
Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
Step 7
After resting, divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll out each portion using a pasta roller or rolling pin until desired thinness is reached.
Step 8
Cut the rolled-out dough into your desired pasta shapes (spaghetti, fettuccine, etc.) and dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for 1–2 minutes, or until just tender. Fresh pasta cooks quickly, so watch it closely.
Step 10
Drain the pasta and serve immediately with your choice of sauce or toppings.
