Einkorn Flour Pasta
homemade pasta made with all purpose Einkorn flour
Servings: 6
Equipment
- Stand mixer - optional
- Pasta roller attachment for stand mixer - optional
Ingredients
- 2 cups Einkorn wheat flour all purpose
- 1 egg
- 6 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into stand mixer with dough hook
- Turn on to medium low speed and combine ingredients until pasta becomes smooth and shiny
- Roll dough onto floured counter and divide into halves
- Using your pasta roller, either a stand mixer attachment or hand crank, open rollers to widest setting
- Roll pasta out on counter with hand or rolling pin and then run through the pasta roller
- Fold rolled piece into thirds or halves and roll back through the roller
- Repeat this step a few times to really make the pasta smooth, lightly adding flour as needed to keep from sticking
- Repeat with the second half of pasta dough
- Continue reducing roller settings and passing noodles through until pasta is at desired thickness, for me that means going from the "0" setting to the "4" setting
- If you are going to make ravioli or other stuffed pasta, make sure to keep your pasta strips as wide as possible
- Once pasta sheets are to desired thickness, pass through cutting blades of pasta roller
- The pasta noodles will get very long and you may want/need to cut in half to make more manageable
- When ready to cook the fresh pasta noodles, place into boiling water, and cook for only 2-3 minutes, drain, and serve
