One cup whole-wheat flour
1 large egg

Here is how you make Dan's Old Country whole wheat pasta, 1/2 pound:

CLASSICAL METHOD (by hand): Place the flour on a clean counter top or rolling board and make a well in the center for the eggs. Break the eggs into the well. Using a fork, beat the eggs and gradually draw in flour from the inner sides. Leave the outer edge intact so the eggs don't spill out. If they do, sprinkle it with flour and bring the egg back into the center. Continue dragging flour into the center well, stirring the ingredients together until the dough reaches an even consistency. This method takes a bit longer than using the mixer.USING A MIXER: place all ingredients into a mixer (I like the KitchenAid heavy-duty mixer). Using the dough hook, mix until the dough reaches an even consistency.WHEN YOU FINISH THE DOUGH, sprinkle a counter or breadboard with flour and knead it. IMPORTANT: If the pasta is too dry or crumbly, add a couple drops of water. When you get the right texture, roll the dough into a ball and let it rest under an inverted bowl for 10-15 minutes (this is included in the prep time).WORKING WITH THE PASTA: If the dough is too crumbly, add a drop or two of water. If it is too soft, add a little bit of flour.Roll out the dough in chunks using a roller pasta machine (even a cup of pasta is too much to roll out all at once). Keep the wheels lightly dusted with flour to prevent sticking. Fold up and roll a second time, or continue to roll each sheet until it becomes smooth.When each sheet begins to smooth out, decrease the roller setting by 2 numbers and continue the rolling process, reducing the roller setting by 2 numbers, until the sheets are the thickness you need for whatever you're making.Pasta sheets can make lasagna (easy) or ravioli (a bit harder). For noodles, roll up the sheet jelly-roll fashion and slice to the desired width (or use the cutter attachment of your machine).VARIATIONS (from various sources).- Add one teaspoon extra virgin olive oil for each cup of flour.- Use gluten-free flour for those who cannot tolerate gluten.- For a chewier pasta, replace 1/2 cup of the flour with semolina flour.- To make your pasta higher in protein, replace 1/2 cup flour with soy flour or high gluten (balancer) flour. Adding high gluten flour also has the added benefit of reducing carbohydrates.- To make an oriental noodle, substitute 1/2 cup of the flour with 1/2 cup of rice flour or potato starch.- Color the pasta by adding drops of beet juice (for red), spinach juice (for green), carrot juice for orange/yellow, or squid ink for purple/black.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user DAN_ODEA.
