Before I went to the grocery store, I discovered this recipe and wanted to try it. I didn't have any whole wheat pasta so I googled a recipe for it without yeast or egg and made it! It was actually very simple to make and encourage you to make your own whole wheat pasta if you like. All you need is water and whole wheat flour. Here is the link for those who want to be ambitious: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/mario-batali/eggless-pasta-recipe/index.html.
Ingredients:
4 cups vegetable broth (no yeast or sugar) or water
1 tsp ground ginger, or thin slices of fresh ginger
1-2 cups broccoli trees, trimmed
4 oz dried whole wheat pasta, or less if using fresh pasta
1-2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp dried basil
1 tbsp dried mint
a squeeze of lime juice
a dash crushed red pepper flakes
toasted sesame oil (opt)
Place the broth and ginger in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook for about 8 minutes or until almost tender. Bring broth and pasta to a simmer. Add broccoli and cook until bright green. Stir in the soy sauce, basil, mint, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Take of heat and serve. Top with a slight dash of sesame oil if desire.
