Homemade Pasta
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1-1/2 cups Semolina flour
3 eggs
pinch of salt
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Sift flour into a mixing bowl with salt. Beat eggs.
Gradually add eggs and oil to flour, very slowly, mixing with a spoon. As mixture becomes lumpy, begin to press together and knead with your hands. If mixture seems too dry and grainy, add one Tbsp. of water at a time until mixture holds together into a ball.
Removing dough from the mixing bowl, begin to knead dough for 2 minutes on a lightly floured board or table top
Cut dough in halves, cover bowl with a dampened cloth and allow dough to rest for 30 minutes.
Roll out on a floured surface to desired thickness or roll thru a pasta machine. Dry slightly before using.
Note: Very important. . . Allowing the dough to rest will improve the texture of the pasta when finished.
