Ingredients
- 100 g soft wheat flour - ¾ cup, “00” flour
- 100 g durum wheat flour - ¾ cup, semolina
- 2 eggs - large, each weighing approximately 70 g (2.5 oz).
Instructions
- To make farfalle pasta at home, start by placing the flours on your work surface. Create a well in the center and crack the eggs into it. Using your hands, begin mixing the eggs with the flours from the edges of the well, gradually incorporating all the flour. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. Resting the dough allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out later.
- After resting, divide the dough into four equal portions. Take one piece and keep the others wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out. Pass the first piece through a pasta machine, starting with the thickest setting and gradually working down to the second-to-last setting. Roll the dough through this setting several times until you achieve sheets of pasta about 1 mm thick.
- Lay the pasta sheets flat on your work surface. Use a fluted pastry cutter to cut vertical strips approximately 6 cm (2.5 inches) wide. Then, using the straight edge of the cutter, cut horizontally to form rectangles about 4 cm (1.5 inches) long.
- To shape the farfalle pasta, use your thumb and index finger. Pinch the center of each rectangle by lifting one edge with your thumb toward the middle and folding the opposite edge with your index finger to meet in the center. Gently press to secure the folds and form the classic bow-tie shape.
- Place the farfalle on a tray dusted with semolina flour to prevent sticking. Let them dry for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- To cook, bring salted water to a boil and add the farfalle. They’ll cook in just 5 minutes (READ: How to Cook Fresh Pasta).
- Toss with your favorite sauce! Try them with our fresh tomato sauce, classic pesto, or even our rich Bolognese ragù. Enjoy the authentic taste of homemade farfalle!
