Make Your Own Whole Wheat Pasta

This recipe comes from allrecipes.com., I know it is easier to just by the pasta in the store...but I have all of these ingredients in my cabinet and thought what the heck..besides all that pasta in the store gets pricey (for the good kind). I don't have a pasta slicer but I'm gonna use a paring knife to carefully slice the dough...I've see my dad do with his dumplings...can't be too hard...right?

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• you will need some water if your dough is too dry
  

Directions

1. Stir together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour and salt in a medium bowl, or on a clean board. Make a hollow in the center, and pour in the olive oil. Break eggs into it one at a time, while mixing quickly with a fork until the dough is wet enough to come together. Knead on a lightly floured surface until the dough is stiff and elastic. Cover, and let stand for 30 minutes to relax.
2. Roll out dough by hand with a rolling pin, or use a pasta machine to achieve the desired thickness of noodles. Cut into desired width and shapes. Allow the pasta to air dry for at least 15 minutes to avoid having it clump together.
