Ingredients

  • 2 cups semolina flour
  • ¾ cup room temperature water*
  • ½ tsp salt (optional)

Instructions

  • Place flour and salt in the food processor and pulse to combine. (You can use half Double '00' flour and half semolina also).
    While the food processor is running, add the water a few tablespoons full at a time.
    Keep processing until the dough comes together in a ball.
    It will be soft but firm and slightly sticky but not wet.
  • If the dough is too dry and not coming together, add a tablespoon of water at a time, let it process and then add more as required.
    If your dough is sticky, add a teaspoon or two of flour and let it process before adding more.  Adjust as necessary.
  • Dust your work surface with flour, remove from the dough from the food processor, and let rest covered for 10-30 minutes. Divide the dough into 2 or 3 pieces.
  • ROLLING THE DOUGH
    Method for sheets of pasta: I used a pasta roller for my dough, working on a lightly floured surface, I rolled once piece through on the widest setting 3 times, then folded it into thirds, reduced the setting by one, rolled the pasta through 2 times and continued reducing the setting until the second to last setting (around 1/16"). Cut the long piece of dough into 2 manageable pieces, place on a lightly floured sheet pan (or surface) and set aside covered with a damp cloth while you roll the rest of the pasta.
  • COOKING THE PASTA
    To cook the pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the fresh pasta, gently stir and bring the water back to a boil - cook until the pasta is floating about 2-4 minutes (will vary depending on the type of pasta you cut). 
    Remove from water and let drain.
  • PRO TIP
    You will require a large, clean, dry surface for the pasta sheets or noodles.
    Prepare a surface area with a light dusting of flour and a damp cloth for the pasta sheets to rest while you work the dough.
    If you are planning to hang your noodles, it's easiest if you have all equipment necessary out, clean, dry, and ready prior to making the dough.
  • Serve hot with your favourite sauce!
