Instructions
-
Prepare the Eggs: Begin by beating the eggs in a medium-sized bowl with a fork until they are well blended and slightly frothy.
-
Add the Salt: Sprinkle the salt into the beaten eggs, mixing thoroughly to ensure the flavor is evenly distributed.
-
Incorporate the Flour: Gradually add the semolina flour to the egg mixture, a little at a time, mixing well after each addition until a dough begins to form.
-
Knead the Dough: Once combined, knead the dough for approximately 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic.
-
Rest the Dough: Wrap the kneaded dough in wax paper and allow it to rest for 12 minutes; this helps improve its elasticity and makes rolling easier.
-
Roll the Dough: After resting, pass the dough through your pasta machine to achieve your desired thickness, or alternatively, roll it out on a floured surface using a rolling pin until it is as thin as possible.
-
Cut the Noodles: Cut the rolled-out dough into the size and shape of noodles you prefer, whether that’s fettuccine, lasagna sheets, or any other style you desire.
-
Prepare for Ravioli (Optional): If you’re making ravioli, brush the edges of each square of dough with egg white to help seal them once filled.
-
Cook and Enjoy: Cook your freshly made pasta in boiling water for 2-4 minutes until al dente, and enjoy your homemade creation!
This delightful homemade semolina pasta not only serves as a versatile base for countless dishes but also promises to impress with its fresh flavor and delightful texture, perfect for any mealtime occasion. Enjoy the ultimate satisfaction of crafting your own pasta from scratch!
