Whole wheat flour and spelt flour can be used as well, always with a little bit of water and oil. Once you have done the dough, leave it in the fridge for half an hour: it will be easier to roll it out. Follow instruction above.

===Drying hand-made pasta=== | |||
Since this recipe was written, I've found a far easier way to dry hand rolled pasta, especially if you're just going to rustically hand cut it. Shake a generous amount of [[fine yellow cornmeal]] onto a work surface and lay the pasta sheets on the cornmeal once it has been rolled out to your desired thickness. Leave it an hour or more to dry out and then you can then cut it to any shape you want. The cornmeal prevents it from sticking to the work surface and unlike flour, most of the cornmeal falls off as you handle the pasta. What doesn't fall off, separates during the boiling process. | |||

Dried pasta is fresh pasta that has been air dried to remove all moisture. Most dried pasta is not made with egg so will keep for years. If pasta has been made with egg it will only keep for a few days and should be refrigerated whilst it is being stored. | Dried pasta is fresh pasta that has been air dried to remove all moisture.
