Ingredients
- 1c all-purpose flour (00 flour if you have)
- 1c semolina flour
- 1T olive oil
- 1t salt
- 3 eggs
Instructions
- On a clean surface make a well in the middle of the flours and salt.
- Crack in eggs and add olive oil to the well. Whisk.
- Using a pastry scraper, your hands, or a fork, slowly incorporate the flour into the eggs.
- Knead dough until it is smooth (about 10 minutes). If the dough is very dry add a little bit of olive oil. If it is too wet you can always add more flour.
- Cover dough with a little bit of extra olive oil and wrap in plastic. Let sit for 30 minutes. If you are in a rush you can ignore this step but the pasta will be harder to work with (roll out).
- Roll through a pasta maker or with a rolling pin, and cut. Depending on thickness cook for 2-7 minutes in boiling, salted water. (The best way to gauge if the pasta is done is to just eat a piece).
- Enjoy :)
