Homemade Pasta

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup semolina flour
  2. ½ cup all-purpose flour
  3. ½ tsp salt
  4. 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
  5. 2 tbsp olive oil
  6. 2 to 3 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Using your food processor, mix together the flours and salt....pulsing a few times.
  2. Slowly add the eggs to the food processor.
  3. Slowly add the oil, and then water with the food processor on.
  4. Once the dough turns into a ball, stop the food processor.
  5. Flour your hands, and pull out the dough
  6. 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.
  7. 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 1/8-inch thick.
  8. Fold the sides into each other, like folding a letter.
  9. Roll smooth again with a roller and then fold the sides in again. Flatten to 1/8-inch with roller.
  10. 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.
  11. Trim the egdes of the pasta to make a smooth sheet of pasta.
  12. Begin tightening the pasta settings.
  13. Continue putting the pasta though the roller until you've reached the 3 setting.
  14. If you want cut pasta, such as spaghetti, angel hair, linguine, or fettucine, replace the pasta roller with the desired pasta cutter attachment.
  15. Put the pasta through the roller, catching the pasta with your hands as it is fed through.
  16. Place the pasta on a large baking sheet, sprinkled with semolina. (this will keep the pasta from sticking to each other).
  17. Bring a pot of water to a boil, with about a tablespoon of Kosher salt.
  18. Once boiling, add the pasta.
  19. Cook, stirring, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  20. Serve immediately, or dry for 24 hours before storing, or freeze. (See FAQs for more on this).
