Ingredients
- 1 kg spelt flour
- 500 g whole wheat flour
- 4–5 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1–1.5 liters milk (use as needed)
- 1 tablespoon salt
Instructions
- Mix the Flours:
In a large bowl, combine the spelt flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients. - Form the Dough:
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the beaten eggs. Gradually start kneading while adding the milk little by little. Add just enough milk to achieve a firm dough. - Knead and Rest:
Knead the dough for approximately 10 minutes until smooth. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes. - Roll Out the Dough:
Using a pasta machine, roll out the dough into thin sheets. Lay the sheets on a clean cloth to dry slightly. They should dry just enough to avoid breaking but still be pliable. - Cut the Pasta:
Once the sheets are ready, pass them through the pasta cutter attachment to create long strips. - Cook or Store:
- For Fresh Pasta: You can cook the pasta immediately in boiling salted water.
- For Storage: Spread the pasta strips on a cloth to dry completely. Once dried, store them in a cotton pillowcase and keep them in a cool, dry place for use in winter.
