Homemade Einkorn Pasta
Einkorn flour adds a slightly nutty and sweet flavor to the pasta and leads to a very soft texture. Absolutely delicious and best of all, it’s an even healthier alternative to whole wheat pasta with better flavor and only a few ingredients!
Ingredients
- 4 cups Einkorn Flour
- 4 Eggs
- 4 tbsp Water
- 4 tbsp Olive Oil extra virgin
Instructions
- Grind the Einkorn Berries in a grain mill (skip this part if using pre-milled flour).
- Add four cups flour to a large bowl. Create a well in the flour and add eggs, olive oil, and water.
- Whisk the liquid mixture while slowly incorporating the flour until well combined and can form into a ball.
- Cover dough in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- After the dough has rested for 30 minutes, divide into four equal balls and roll out on a lightly floured surface.
- Run the dough through the pasta roller on the largest setting (mines a "1") repeating 5 or 6 times folding the dough over and adding flour if necessary.
- Gradually reduce the setting and pass the dough through until pasta is at desired thickness (I prefer a thicker noodle and only go to a "4").
- Once the dough is at desired thickness, roll it through the cutting blades of pasta roller.
- Place the cut dough on a drying rack or lightly floured dish towel and let dry for an hour.
