This was a successful experiment to substitute 25% of the durum semolina with high fiber flour. The result seemed no different from 100% durum semolina fresh pasta although I may have needed to add a little more water to the dough because high fiber flour is thirsty. I served it with Mushroom and Turkey Sugo
Here are quantities for 2 persons. This takes about an hour including resting time.
75 g. durum semolina
25 g. Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose High Fiber Flour
Pinch of salt
1 egg
Water as needed
Mix together the flours and salt. Add the egg and mix to combine. (With larger quantities I used a stand mixer with the paddle. This amount was too small for that so I mixed it with a dough whisk.) Knead to make a smooth dough. (With larger quantities I used a stand mixer with a dough hook. With this quantity I kneaded by hand.) Add water 1 tsp. at a time if the dough is too dry to come together. With this batch, I needed a total of 3 tsp. of water to make a smooth but not wet dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and rest it for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Press the rested dough into a flat disk and feed it through a pasta machine to thin and cut it. Boil for 2-4 minutes in salted boiling water until done to taste.
