To prepare pasta, lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.  Combine flours and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor; process 30 seconds.  Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk.  With processor running, pour water mixture through the food chute, processing just until dough forms a ball.  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 5 or 6 times.  Shape dough into a disk.  Dust dough lightly with flour; wrap in plastic wrap.  Let stand 45 minutes.

Note: I knead the dough a little longer - to make smooth.  It should only be slightly sticky - not overly so - don't worry about dusting with flour so it doesn't stick to fingers - just add a little to surface and sprinkle dough lightly at a time. 

Divide dough into 3 equal portions.  Working with 1 portion at a time (cover remaining dough to prevent drying), press dough into flat rectangle.  Roll dough into a 14 x 14 -inch square, dusting with flour, if necessary (turning fough over occassionally and dusting surface with flour as needed).  Lay dough sheet flat, dust with flour and rub dough sheet to ensure it is shiny and not sticky (very important).  Fold the ends so they meet in the middle.  Dust and rub down with flour again and make sure that exposed surfaces aren't sticky.  Fold the sheet in half like closing a book.  Using a sharp knife, cut the pasta crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide noodles.  Separate noodles, and dust with flour.  Place noodles on a jelly-roll pan dusted with flour.  Repeat procedure with remaining dough portions.

Bring 6 quarts water and remaining 1 tablespoon salt to a boil in large Dutch oven.  Place noodles in a sieve; shake off excess flour.  Add noodles to pan.  cook 1 1/2 minutes or until done; drain.

Serve with sauce of your choice.

Note: It is critical to dust and lightly rub each layer of dough with flour when folding the dough, just before cutting.  If the dough is too sticky, the noodles won't separate properly and you'll end up with dumplings.  Also, if you won't be eating all of the noodles in one sitting, put them in a container and put in the fridge - if you leave them out uncovered they dry out very quickly.  (learned that the hard way : )
