Ingredients:
1 1/2 cupUnbleached flour
- (do not use all purpose
- it's too soft)
1 cupSemolina flour
1/2 tspSalt
1 tbspOlive oil
3 largeWhole eggs
1 tbspWarm water (if needed)
Procedures:
1Mix dry ingredients on a board forming a well in the center add olive oil and eggs to well.
2Mix with a fork by gradually blending in the dry to the egg.
3When it gets too stiff to use a fork, begin to knead by hand to proper consistency (should be very stiff) if necessary, add warm water in small increments.
4Allow dough to rest while covered for at least 10 minutes.
5Using a floured board, cut off pieces of dough about the size of an egg.
6Flatten with the palm or your hand.
7Process through pasta machine by starting on the thickest setting.
8Roll through machine again at each progressively thinner setting to form long strips the width of your machine and the proper thickness for the desired style of pasta.
9(this helps to incorporate the ingredients) at this point i gently rub a small amount of flour on the surface and allow to air dry for about 30 minutes.
10(this makes cutting easier) attach cutting head for the desired pasta type.
11Cut, lay-out on floured board, sprinkle lightly with flour and allow to dry further.
12Can be cooked now or rolled in freezer paper and frozen for later.
13Remember, fresh pasta cooks a lot faster than the cardboard box variety.
14Don"t over-cook.
15If cut with a medium width head, these make great chicken and noodles or cut thin for spaghetti
