3 Ingredient Homemade Whole Wheat Pasta Bigger Bolder Baking

Hi Bold Bakers! After sharing my 2 Ingredient Homemade Pasta recipe I got lots of requests for a pasta recipe including whole wheat. Well, ask and you shall receive! This is my 3 Ingredient Homemade Whole Wheat Pasta! Made with a combination of hearty whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and eggs, this homemade pasta is every bit as easy to make as my original recipe but with the added flavor and benefits of nutty, healthy whole wheat.

How much time does it take to cook Homemade Whole Wheat Pasta?

My Homemade Whole Wheat Pasta is much more delicate than the dried store-bought stuff. One of my favorite parts of making my own whole wheat pasta is the incredible texture it yields, and while you do get that extra bite from the whole wheat, the pasta still cooks up in no time at all like regular fresh pasta. After only just 1-2 minutes the whole wheat pasta will be cooked. Basically, as soon as the pasta starts rising to the top of the pot of water that is a good indication it is done.

How do I store fresh Whole Wheat Pasta?

If you don’t want to cook off the fresh pasta straight away you can store it in the fridge covered for up to 3 days. It also can be frozen and dried — and those instructions are below.

Can you freeze Whole Wheat Pasta?

The freshly cut Whole Wheat Pasta can be frozen in little nests in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 8 weeks. This is one of my favorite things to have on hand as it cooks up from frozen almost as fast as when it is fresh.

How do you dry Homemade Whole Wheat Pasta for storage?

I loved learning not only the technique of making and cutting the pasta but that in addition to freezing the fresh pasta, it can also be dried. To do this, lay the freshly cut pasta in one even layer on a floured baking tray. Leave the pasta out in the open air to dry out. After about 24 hours, the pasta will have dried — what you’re looking for is that the noodles will break with a snapping sound when bent. When the pasta has fully dried out, store it in an air-tight container for up to 1 months. Note that if you live in a humid climate this may take longer and might make the pasta chewier. If this is the case, I might suggest freezing instead of drying the pasta to store.
