WHOLE WHEAT PENNE IN FRESH TOMATO SAUCE



Whole Wheat Penne in Fresh Tomato Sauce image

This hearty wheat pasta dish gets a boost from sweet and tangy tomatoes and creamy goat cheese sauce. Ripe cherry tomatoes get amazingly sweet and juicy when cooked. I paired it with creamy goat cheese and fresh basil. In-fact, salty capers were also a great addition to each bite. We are accustomed to use semolina pasta in my home. Every time I brought whole wheat version, it sat in my pantry for ages and ultimately expired and thrown away. Even if I cooked it for dinner, Vishal ate it half-hearted. So why waste few ingredients? I stopped trying it. Quite frankly, even I not liked taste of whole wheat pasta until my friend shared few tricks to make it delicious. First and most important, it definitely needs juicy and hearty flavors to stand up to the taste and texture of whole grain pasta and second, cook whole wheat pasta a minute more than the package directions for a little smoother texture. So, I followed the advice and added all these sweet and juicy fresh flavors to make it flavorful yet whole grain healthy. Sometimes, I also add zucchini or dice rotisserie chicken in it to make hearty, yet easy and healthy weeknight meal.You can always use this sauce for regular pastas instead of whole wheat, but in my home, this fresh sauce is wheat pasta supporter.Enjoy Cooking and Let's eat healthy one meal at a time !!

  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the whole wheat flour, white flour, and kosher salt and stir loosely to combine. Add the olive oil and eggs and stir until a loose dough forms.
  • Attach the dough hook to your stand mixer and knead the dough on low speed for 5-6 minutes until a smooth ball forms. You may need to stop the mixer once or twice to make sure all of the flour gets incorporated into the dough. Note: The dough can also be kneaded by hand for 5 minutes.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it into a smooth, dense ball. Cover the dough with a towel and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Roll the dough out using a pasta machine, or by hand with a rolling pin. To roll the dough with a pasta machine, take about 1/4 of the dough (smaller amounts are easier to work with) and flatten it with your hand. Run it through the pasta rollers at the widest setting. Fold the dough in half and run it through again at the same setting. Repeat this until the pasta runs through smoothly (around 4 times). If the pasta becomes sticky at any point, sprinkle a small amount of flour on the sheet of dough and rub it in.
