Kamut Pasta

I’m so excited to be part of WonderMill’s Grain Mill Wagon Challenge! When I received my WonderMill in the mail, the first thing I wanted to make was pasta!
Not just any pasta, I wanted to experiment with other grains and I knew just where to go.
I made a stop at Good Earth Grains & Creamery , a fantastic organic store and they make their own ice cream too ! 😉 You can order a huge variety of grains to mill from them online here .
Anyway, I bought a few grains to try including hard wheat, spelt, kamut, oat groats, barley, kasha as well as dried soy beans, and lentils! Delicious!
The WonderMill is so easy to use. In seconds I had warm, sweet smelling kamut flour for making a batch of fresh pasta noodles!

Kamut Pasta

Kamut pasta has a full bodied flavor, kind of buttery and sweeter than wheat. It pairs easily with any sauce. Kamut is a nutrient dense grain, high in protein and potassium. Kamut handles and cooks similarly to wheat. Kamut is more nutritious than regular wheat due It also contains a unique type of gluten that is said to be easier to digest than common wheat gluten. Use Kamut flour for bread, muffins and other baked goods as well as for homemade pasta.
