Best 7 Whole Wheat Pasta Noodles Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT PASTA

Steps:

• Stir together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour and salt in a medium bowl, or on a clean board. Make a hollow in the center, and pour in the olive oil. Break eggs into it one at a time, while mixing quickly with a fork until the dough is wet enough to come together. Knead on a lightly floured surface until the dough is stiff and elastic. Cover, and let stand for 30 minutes to relax.
• Roll out dough by hand with a rolling pin, or use a pasta machine to achieve the desired thickness of noodles. Cut into desired width and shapes. Allow the pasta to air dry for at least 15 minutes to avoid having it clump together.

WHOLE-WHEAT PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the onion and chard stems; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the tomatoes start breaking apart, about 5 minutes.
• Add the chard leaves to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start wilting, about 3 minutes. Add the pasta, the reserved cooking water and 1/4 cup cheese; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Top each serving with the remaining cheese.

WHOLE WHEAT ROTINI PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot with lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook rotini at a boil until the pasta is cooked yet slightly firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.
• Rinse the pasta with cold water until completely chilled; drain completely.
• While the pasta cooks, whisk the apple cider vinegar and olive oil together in a large bowl until blended. Stir feta cheese, basil, salt, and black pepper into the vinaigrette.
• Fold the asparagus, tomatoes, carrots, green onions, and garlic into the vinaigrette to coat evenly.
• Stir the cooled pasta into the vegetable mixture; toss until evenly mixed.

HOMEMADE WHOLE WHEAT PASTA

Steps:

Cover and let rest for 10 minutes., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Divide into fourths. Roll each portion into a 14x12-in. rectangle. Cut widthwise into 1/2-in. strips; cut strips into 6-in. lengths. Let noodles rest on a clean towel for at least 1 hour., In a Dutch oven, bring remaining water to a rapid boil. Add noodles; cook for 8-10 minutes or until tender. Drain. , In the same pan, cook the butter over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.

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).

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.
