Whole wheat Pasta with Roasted Vegetable and Goat Cheese

 Home made pasta tastes so much fresher, and this is our favorite whole wheat recipe for a healthier twist.

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
Directions

Stir together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour and salt in a medium bowl. Make a well 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, and put it through a pasta machine several times to achieve the desired thickness of noodles. Cut into linguine strips. Allow the pasta to air dry for at least 15 minutes to avoid having it clump together. Then blanch in salted boiling water till al dente.

Tonight I serve the pasta with sauteed mixed green vegetable, roasted red and yellow peppers,mushrooms, sliced heirloom tomatoes in a little olive oil, then add generous portion of goat cheese, parmesan cheese, salt & pepper, then a handful of fresh basil leaves. Delicious and wholesome...
