Homemade Whole Wheat Pasta

 

Ingredients:

– 2 cups whole wheat flour

– 2 large eggs

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 1/4 teaspoon salt

– Assorted roasted vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion)

– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Directions:

  1. Start by making the pasta dough. On a clean surface, pour the whole wheat flour and create a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well, add olive oil, and sprinkle salt on top.
  2. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Once rested, divide the dough into smaller portions. Roll out each portion into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin.
  4. Cut the sheets into linguine-sized strips using a sharp knife or pasta cutter.
  5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the whole wheat linguine for about 2-3 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  6. While the pasta is cooking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the assorted vegetables with minced garlic and a drizzle of olive oil on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  7. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the roasted vegetables. Toss gently to mix.
  8. Serve the nutty whole wheat linguine with grated Parmesan cheese on top, if desired. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
