WHOLE WHEAT PASTA



Whole Wheat Pasta image

Fresh, healthy and very delish... I sometimes make this the traditional style, and when in a hurry, I throw all the ingredients into my mixer, with the kneading hook.

Categories     100+ Pasta and Noodle Recipes     Noodle Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon sea salt
4 eggs
2 teaspoons olive oil

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 ROASTED SHRIMP AND CHERRY TOMATOES



Whole Wheat Pasta With Roasted Shrimp and Cherry Tomatoes image

Roasting is a great technique to boost flavor without adding extra oil or calories. As the tomatoes roast, they caramelize, sweeten, and intensify in flavor. The dish is so flavorful with tomatoes, basil and Romano cheese that we often enjoy this dish as a vegetarian entree, without shrimp. If you are using shrimp, be careful to watch the them carefully when roasting, because small shrimp can be cooked in two minutes!

Categories     Penne

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 lb shrimp, raw, de-veined, shelled
1 tablespoon Italian dressing (see note in directions)
8 ounces pasta, whole wheat penne
1/4 cup basil, slivered
1/4 cup romano cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Note on Italian dressing: I use about 1/4 cup for marinating, but discard most of it after marinading. I list 1 T. in the ingredient list so that the nutrition facts more accurately reflect what is eaten and what is discarded.
  • Marinate shrimp in about 1/4 cup Italian dressing. A Ziplock bag is handy for this step. **You'll be discarding most of the marinade later.
  • While shrimp is marinating, heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut cherry tomatoes in half. Toss tomatoes with olive oil and garlic salt. Place tomatoes in shallow metal roasting pan, cut sides UP, which will help tomato juices to evaporate. Roast 30 minutes until bottoms start to caramelize and have bits of black (metal pans helps achieve caramelization during roasting).
  • When tomatoes are done, push them toward the center of the pan and place shrimp around the outside of the pan. Discard marinade. Continue to roast tomatoes and shrimp about 4-6 more minutes, depending on the size of your shrimp (turn once after 2 minutes).
  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with cooked tomatoes and shrimp. Use the reserved pasta water to clean up any bits in the roasting pan, and then add this flavorful water to the pasta as well.
  • Toss everything with basil leaves and romano cheese. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh shrimp, flavorful herbs, and quality whole wheat pasta will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough.
  • Season the shrimp well. Be generous with the herbs and spices to give the shrimp a flavorful coating.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid. The shrimp will absorb the flavors of the cooking liquid, so make sure to use a flavorful broth or stock.
  • Don't crowd the pan. When cooking the shrimp, make sure not to overcrowd the pan or the shrimp will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. Whole wheat pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked, so make sure to have all of the other ingredients ready before you start cooking the pasta.

Conclusion:

This whole wheat pasta with shrimp and herbs is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful broth and then tossed with whole wheat pasta, herbs, and Parmesan cheese. The dish is simple to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this whole wheat pasta with shrimp and herbs a try.
