Homemade Sourdough Pasta
Description
This recipe uses a sourdough starter mixed with eggs, semolina flour, bread flour, and salt to make fresh pasta dough. After mixing and kneading until smooth, the dough is refrigerated for 8 to 12 hours to rest and develop flavor. It is then rolled very thin—about 2mm thick—and cut into desired strip widths.
The pasta is left to rest covered at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes before cooking. Boiling the pasta in salted water for 3 to 5 minutes produces a tender yet firm texture well-suited for tossing with sauces or toppings of choice. The use of sourdough starter imparts a subtle tang and complexity to the flavor.
If the dough feels too dry, a little water can be added during mixing; if too wet, additional bread flour can adjust the consistency. This flexibility allows tailoring the dough to specific kitchen conditions.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup sourdough starter unfed/discard
- 2 large egg
- ⅔ cup semolina flour
- 1 tablespoon semolina flour
- ⅔ cup bread flour
- 2 tablespoons bread flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In the stand up mixer (with the flat beaters) or large bowl mix together the sourdough starter and eggs until combined. Add all the flours and salt and with the dough hook knead until smooth. This can also be done by hand.
- Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate 8-12 hours.
- Remove from the fridge and let come to room temperature. Divide the dough in 4 parts and roll or put through a machine until it is almost transparent about 2mm in thickness.
- Lightly flour the dough, then fold in 3 parts like an envelope. With a sharp knife cut the strips into desired thickness or shapes.
- Dust the board with some flour and place the pasta on top, sprinkle it with a little flour and cover with a clean tea towel, to rest for approximately 30-60 minutes before cooking, be sure it is away from all sources of heat and humidity.
- Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, about 3-5 minutes, toss with your favourite sauce or topping and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- If the dough is too dry, add small amounts of water to reach a smooth consistency.
- If the dough is too wet or sticky, incorporate a little more bread flour gradually while kneading.
