Homemade Pasta

Makes about 1 ½ pounds fresh


pasta Steps

Step 1: Place the semolina flour in a large


bowl and make a well in the center.

Step 2: Add the whisked eggs to the well and using a


large spoon stir the eggs to gradually add a little of the
semolina flour in at a time until the dough comes
together. If the dough is dry and feels too crumbly
(won’t stay together when pinched), add 1 tablespoon of
water at a time.

Step 3: Dump the dough out onto a clean work


surface lightly dusted with flour. The dough may look
very clumpy and that’s ok. Keep bringing it together to
form a ball. Knead until the ball is super smooth.

Ingredients Step 4: Wrap dough well in plastic wrap and


refrigerate for a couple of hours or even overnight.
2 ½ cups semolina flour Step 5: When you’re ready for the dough take it
4 large eggs, whisked out of the fridge and bring it to room temperature. I like
1-2 tablespoons water, only if needed to cut it into eighths. Then depending on how you are
using the noodles you can roll it and cut it accordingly.
If you are making flat sheets for lasagna, roll each piece
until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer sheets to a baking
sheet pan lined with parchment paper until you are ready
to layer and stuff into a lasagna. Or, if you are using
these for fettuccine, you can roll each piece out and with
a pizza cutter, cut strips of desired thickness. You can
hang them on a pasta rack or lay them on a clean, dry
towel until you are ready to cook them. You would bring
water to boil seasoned with salt and add the noodles,
stirring, until they are al dente. Fresh noodles do not take
as long to cook as dry noodles to watch them. Usually
when they float to the top they are done.
