How to Make Whole-Wheat Pasta

Making the change from whole enriched white pasta to whole-wheat pasta can be difficult, as the taste is just not the same. By changing your cooking technique, however, you will learn to love whole-wheat pasta.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Whole-wheat pasta
• Pasta sauce (of any kind)
• seasonings

1. Boil your pasta as usual. For most people, that means adding a touch of salt and oil to your boiling water and adding your pasta.

2. Remove the pasta before it is done. It should still be al dente, or very firm.

3. While your pasta is cooking, begin your sauce. You will also want to alter your normal sauce by adding a little more seasonings that usual. I like to add chopped vegetable, like carrots, green peppers, scallions and onions, to my sauce since I altered my pasta recipes.

4. Sauté your half-cooked pasta with a few cups of your sauce. Reserve at least 1/2 of the sauce to pour over your pasta. Cook your pasta and sauce, stirring to prevent sticking until your pasta has absorbed the sauce.

5. Pour your remaining sauce over your pasta and serve. You will no longer have that whole-wheat taste.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not overcook whole-wheat pasta as it will get mushy and fall apart.
• Be careful not to burn your pasta when you cook it with the sauce.
