Homemade Kamut Pasta (soaked for easy digestion!) | Kamut is a great ancient grain to use for pasta because of its hearty, nutty flavor. By soaking, phytic acid is reduced, making digestion easier. We all enjoyed these easy noodles in homemade chicken soup and under beef stew. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Have you ever worked with kamut before?

It’s an ancient variety of wheat — and so yummy to use for pasta because of its hearty, nutty flavor. Because this recipe calls for soaking the kamut beforehand, the phytic acid is neutralized and the gluten protein is weakened for optimum digestion.

Homemade Kamut Pasta

We love serving these noodles under chicken noodle soup, beef stroganoff, or any type of winter soup!
Course Breads, Main
Author Wardee Harmon

Ingredients

Soaking Stage

  • 3 cups kamut or whole wheat flour
  • 3 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
  • 1 to 1-1/4 cups pure water

Cooking Stage

  • 3 quarts pure water for boiling
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
  • herbed seasoning salt optional

Instructions

Soaking Stage

  1. Mix together kamut, apple cider vinegar, and water to form a stiff dough.
  2. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Cover and let rest for 8 hours or overnight.

Cooking Stage

  1. Once dough is soured, dust a clean countertop.
  2. Separate dough into 3 parts.
  3. With rolling pin, roll out 1 section of dough to 1/8-inch thickness.
  4. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the pasta into 1/2-inch wide strips.
  5. Transfer to a baking sheet and lay out to rest.
  6. Repeat rolling and cutting with other 2 dough sections.
  7. Fill a 6 quart pot half full of pure water.
  8. Add salt and oil.
  9. Bring to a boil.
  10. Carefully add the noodles to the water.
  11. Use tongs or a fork to separate the noodles.
  12. Bring back to a boil, then cover and let simmer for 5 to 8 minutes, until cooked.
  13. Toss the noodles every minute or so in the cooking water to prevent sticking.
  14. Remove from heat.
  15. Drain by pouring contents of pot into a stainless steel colander in the sink.

  16. Transfer noodles back to the pot.
  17. Drizzle and toss with additional oil to prevent sticking.
  18. Season with herbed seasoning salt if desired.

Enjoy with soups, stews, or spaghetti! Store noodles separately from the main dish so they don’t get soggy. Enjoy!

    Ah…if kamut works well for pasta, then I just really need to show you how to make the quick and easy spaetzle that literally takes 15 minutes to put a beautiful bowl of homemade pasta onto the table! Ummmm!

    I make an egg noodle that is very similar, actually the only difference is the addition of eggs. I use wheat flour though, have not tried kamut. My question is, how much can you taste the vinegar?

      Marg – you can smell it in the dough, but not taste it in the noodles – at least not to identify it. The noodles are very tasty.

    Wardee,

    I really miss pasta! I don’t buy it anymore because I’ve realized the stuff in the store is NOT good for my family…and the whole wheat and brown rice pastas taste like cardboard. I will definitely be trying this recipe. I want my pasta back! šŸ™‚ Thank you for showing me that it is possible.

    Oh! I can hardly wait…but I will. LOL! Would the recipe change at all if I used sprouted flour instead of soaking? Thanks for all you do Wardee!

    have you tried drying these? how long can you leave the dough “soaking” before you roll it out?

    • Wardee says

      August 20, 2010 at 6:49 pm

      Tammy – I have not tried drying these, but I have read it is not hard. Leave spread out on a clean surface and turn over to the underside when the top side is dry. At room temp, it should not take long.

      I have left the dough soaking for 24 hours. I wouldn’t be afraid to go longer, either, unless it was very warm out.

    I have a KA attachment for making spaghetti and macaroni etc. You put in walnut sized pieces of dough in and it extrudes the shaped pasta. Just got it, and have yet to experiment with it, but hope to find a soaked recipe that works as we love pasta and I want it to be nutritious. I will likely be using hard white winter wheat as that is what I use for most of our bread baking.

    Hi, a million thanks for this recipe, the kids and I made some fettucini pasta for dinner with kamut flour, it was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL !! I especially love it because it does not use eggs. This is a sure favorite from now on in my kitchen !!

    going to try this with einkorn by decreasing 1/3 of the water. Any other suggestions? No kamut berries on hand…

      HI Kristi,

      Wardee has tried pasta and you need a lot of flour to make it stiff enough. Wardee hasn’t perfected the recipe yet, but your inclination sounds like a good place to start.

    i am eager to try this recipe.

    how much does one cup of wholewheat kamut flour measure?

    how much does a cup of water measure?

    thanks so much!

      Hi, Harry,
      1 US cup of kamut flour volume equals: 119.00 grams (g) in kamut flour mass. One cup of water weighs approximately 8 ounces, which is equal to 225 grams.

    Hi Wardee,
    My husband cannot tolerate regular wheat, so I use spelt for my homemade bread and cakes. The spelt pasta I purchased always breaks so easily. Kamut pasta however holds better. Since it is sooo difficult to even get kamut pasta, I’d like to try homemade. Your recipe has vinegar in it. I would like to use salt. Do you know if that works as well?

      Hi, Jenny: The vinegar in the recipe is what makes the pasta ā€œsoakedā€ so that the anti-nutrients are broken down. If you mean that you’d like to replace the vinegar with salt, you won’t get the same benefit. You could keep the vinegar and add some salt, if you’d like. The cooking water is generously salted, too, so you might not need to add salt to the dough. —Sonya, TCS Customer Success Team

    Hello! Love it! Always been making fresh wholewheat and spelt pasta but now been diagnosed with anemia, oops! Learning about phytic acid now.

    Could I soak in lime juice instead?

    Do you let it ferment in room temperature? How would this work if you add eggs? Would it be safe? I use eggs in my homemade pasta so I wanted to ask. Can you refrigerate the dough after 24 hours? Does that kill the cultures? Can you freeze for future uses after the 24 hours?

    Reply

      December 16, 2024 at 9:23 am

      Hi, Jelena,
      Yes, you would ferment at room temperature. We teach in our program how to ferment it safely if you add eggs in our Ancient Grains Masterclass. You can refrigerate your dough, it will continue to ferment. I am not sure how well it will freeze for future use, I would suggest freezing in portion sizes so just what is needed is thawed.
