Fresh Pasta Dough Recipe

Ingredients

  • 300 g. OO flour
  • 100 g. semolina flour
  • 3/4 c. water

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl combine OO flour and semolina. On a large clean surface such as a wooden butcher block or cutting board, pour flour mixture into the center. Using the bottom of the bowl create a diviot in the center of the flour to form a round wall.
  • Carefully add water 1/4 c. at a time and using a fork begin to fold flour mixture inward from the wall to the center. Do this until a tacky shaggy dough forms. Add more water 1 tbsp. at a time if needed. The dough should not be wet or too dry.
  • Knead dough for about 10 minutes. Wrap in plastic and rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove a small piece of dough and begin by rolling it out into a thin sheet. If you have a pasta maker, you can start on 1 or 2 and work your way to 5 or 6, depending on how thick you want it. Once you've rolled the pasta into a sheet cut it into desired shapes; ie: linguini, pappardelle, bow ties.
  • Allow pasta to dry on a pasta tree, mesh surface or wooden cutting board covered in semolina. Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 1 week.
