Nutritional values

This makes pasta love a healthy affair: The homemade pasta dough consists of half wholemeal flour. That is why it contains fibre and vitamins that are no longer present in white flour. The pasta made from it will keep you full for a long time, because its carbohydrates are broken down bit by bit and the blood sugar level does not rise all at once.

Noodle dough made from wholemeal flour unfortunately has a somewhat brittle consistency. To make it more supple and easier to roll out, it is refined with type 405 flour. Since every wholemeal flour is slightly different, you may need to use a little more water or flour for the pasta dough. A spicy tomato sauce goes well with these hearty noodles.
