Take your simple ingredients, add a whole lot of love and you’ve got fresh pasta, one of the world’s most gratifying dishes – whichever shape or flavour it comes in. Today we share how to make your own pasta dough from scratch. And it is much easier than you thought.
Ingredients
- 250g “00” flour
- 50g durum wheat semolina
- a generous pinch of salt
- 3 eggs
Instructions
- Place the flour and semolina on a clean work surface and make a well in the centre. Add the salt and break the eggs into the well.
- Beat the eggs lightly with a fork until combined then start incorporating flour into the eggs, a little at a time, until the eggs are no longer runny.
- Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. To check if the dough is ready, press it with the tip of your finger. If it springs back, it has reached the desired texture.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Now the dough is ready to be rolled in a pasta machine and cut into the desired shape.
