Di, this is a winning recipe! I made this yesterday to serve with Dancer's Healthy MArinara Sauce and some fried calamari. I used my Kitchenaid Mixer's linguini attachment and this was a really terrific treat. I allowed the noodles to dry a bit as I prepared everything else and they boiled up really well. They also absorbed the sauce REALLY well and I just had a bit of the leftovers and the pasta is even better today. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting this!!!

Love the recipe, but we needed to add another half cup of flour or so since the dough was too wet at first. We also added finely chopped basil for added color and flavor. Highly recommended!

I somehow missed the water altogether. But, once I figured out what I had done, this came together quite nicely. I used my kitchenaid and it was so easy. This was my first attempt at homemade pasta since cooking school and my first ever at whole wheat. I used a fettucini cutter and let it dry a bit before cooking. I served it with sauteed chicken and a marinara. The kids really loved it, and I think it was was the best pasta I'd ever eaten! Thank you!
