Lamb'S Quarters And Sausage With Homemade Whole Wheat Pasta

1. 1

   Place 2 cups of the whole wheat flour in a mixing bowl or a clean kitchen counter. Create a well in the center.

2. 2

   Place the eggs, olive oil, and sea salt in the well. Slowly incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients until a nice dough starts to form. If you need to, add some water to the mixture.

3. 3

   Wrap up your dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Cut the dough into two so it's easier to handle. If you have a pasta maker/roller, roll out the dough to the desired thickness (I usually go to the thinnest setting) and cut into your desired shape.

5. 5

   If you do not have a pasta maker/roller, you can roll out your dough by hand. It is a workout but well worth it.

6. 6

   Remember to sprinkle the pasta with the left over whole wheat flour. If you do not, the dough will start sticking together and it will be a mess.

7. 7

   In a warm pan, put the olive oil and shallots. Once the shallots are cooked, place the garlic in the pan.

8. 8

   Take the sausage meat out of it's casing and cook in the pan.

9. 9

   Once the sausage is cooked, place the washed lamb's quarters in the pan. Make sure to thoroughly wash the lamb's quarters. It is very sandy.

10. 10

    Bring water to a boil in a separate pot and season with salt. Place half of the whole wheat pasta in the pot. It should take less than 5 minutes to cook the pasta, depending on the thickness.

11. 11

    Once the 2 batches of pasta are done, place into the pan with sausage and lamb's quarters and mix well. Taste for seasoning.
