It is very similar in color with whole wheat pasta if not just a little bit lighter . It tastes good , as most of fresh pasta does . The only thing that i really don&#8217;t care in making light or whole wheat pasta is that the dough gets tough , i can&#8217;t put too much water in or else it would be too sticky and won&#8217;t be pliable .<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Direction :\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>2 1\/2 cups of whole wheat flour<\/p>\n<p>1 cup \u00a0of bread flour<\/p>\n<p>4 eggs<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 tsp. of salt<\/p>\n<p>2 tbsp. of water ( i ended up adding more .. it really depends on the humidity in your house , the less humid , the more water you need , the more humid your house is , the less water you need )<\/p>\n<p>1. In a large mixer bowl , combine all ingredients , use a flat beater , and mix for 2 minutes on speed 2 , and then switch to dough hook and beat for 2 minutes on speed 2 . If the dough looks very crumbly and dry then add little water at a time until the dough somewhat comes together , try to press it with your hands \/ fingers , if they stay together then your dough is ready .<\/p>\n<p>2. Use the pasta roller to make it thin all the way to number 5 , then switch to fettucine maker , and proceed as directed .<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here is our fresh pasta drying on the pasta hanger . I made it in the afternoon , about 5 hours later , they&#8217;re all totally drying pretty well . So after that i decided just to store them and used it the next day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/light-wheat1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2657\" alt=\"light wheat1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/light-wheat1-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/light-wheat1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/light-wheat1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pasta is dried and ready to be stored .<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/light-wheat2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2658\" alt=\"light wheat2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/light-wheat2-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/light-wheat2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/light-wheat2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>how to make whole wheat pasta<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":2658,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,7],"tags":[94,95],"class_list":["post-2656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-main-dishes","category-main-dishes-recipes","tag-pasta","tag-whole-wheat"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2656"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2656\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2659,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2656\/revisions\/2659"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
