CARBS IN WHOLE WHEAT PASTA RECIPES

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.

Steps:

• Stir together eggs, cheese, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; set aside. Cook pasta in a pot of boiling water until al dente. Drain pasta in a strainer over a stainless steel bowl large enough to cover the pasta pot. Let cooking liquid stand in bowl 2 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking liquid; return remaining cooking liquid to pot. Place bowl on top of pot to create a double boiler; transfer drained pasta to bowl. Heat pot over high. Add egg mixture to pasta; cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes or until sauce thickens. Stir in reserved 1 cup cooking liquid, 1/4 cup at a time, as needed to adjust consistency. Cook pancetta in a small skillet over medium until crisp. Remove pancetta with a slotted spoon; set aside. Stir drippings into pasta mixture. Divide pasta and pancetta among 4 bowls.
