Ingredients
- 1 cup semolina flour
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 to 3 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Using your food processor, mix together the flours and salt....pulsing a few times.
- Slowly add the eggs to the food processor.
- Slowly add the oil, and then water with the food processor on.
- Once the dough turns into a ball, stop the food processor.
- Flour your hands, and pull out the dough
- On a floured surface, roll the dough into a ball. With a knife, divide the dough into quarters and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest for 15 minutes.
- Take one dough quarter at a time, and on a floured surface, using a rolling pin, gently roll out the dough into about a 2-inch by 4-inch rectangle, about ⅛-inch thick.
- Fold the sides into each other, like folding a letter.
- Roll smooth again with a roller and then fold the sides in again. Flatten to ⅛-inch with roller.
- Place your pasta roller on the widest setting (0) or (1). Feed the folded pasta through. If the pasta shreds, press the dough back together and form into a rectangle again. Fold in sides, and put through roller again. Repeat this process 3 to 4 times, until pasta is smooth.
- Trim the egdes of the pasta to make a smooth sheet of pasta.
- Begin tightening the pasta settings.
- Continue putting the pasta though the roller until you've reached the 3 setting.
- If you want cut pasta, such as spaghetti, angel hair, linguine, or fettucine, replace the pasta roller with the desired pasta cutter attachment.
- Put the pasta through the roller, catching the pasta with your hands as it is fed through.
- Place the pasta on a large baking sheet, sprinkled with semolina. (this will keep the pasta from sticking to each other).
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, with about a tablespoon of Kosher salt.
- Once boiling, add the pasta.
- Cook, stirring, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Drain.
- Serve immediately, or dry for 24 hours before storing, or freeze. (See FAQs for more on this).
Notes
- If you do not have a food processor, simply add the flours on your counter, and make a well in the center of the flour. Add the remaining ingredients into the well, and then use a wooden spoon, to begin incorporating the flour into the wet ingredients. Once a dough as begun to form, use your floured hands to knead until elastic and smooth, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- If you cannot find semolina, you can use all regular all-purpose flour. The consistency won't be the same, but will still produce good pasta.
- Be sure to only cook the pasta for 2 to 3 minutes, if fresh!
- If you want to dry the pasta, then use a pasta dryer, or simply place on a baking sheet, in a non-humid location and let set out for 24 to 36 hours, until dried. A fan helps to expedite this. Place in a large baggie, sealed, at room temperature for up to 6 months.
- If you want to freeze the pasta, place the pasta while still on the baking sheet into the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes. Then place in a large freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
