4 SERVING

Ingredients:

Pasta dough
2 cup Flour (all-purpose)
1 cup Semolina flour
6 large Eggs
1 tsp. Salt
1 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

Step 1

Pour the flours on a clean work surface. Use your hand to create a depression in the flour. Crack your three eggs into the depression. Mix eggs, flour, oil, and salt with your hands until a shaggy dough forms. Knead with dough hook until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Cover the dough and let rest at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Cut the dough in half, cover and reserve the dough.

Step 3

Form the dough into a rectangle and roll it through the pasta machine, 2 or 3 times, at its widest setting. Guide the sheet of dough with the palm of your hand as it emerges from the rollers.

Step 4

Reduce the setting and crank the dough through again, 2 or 3 times. Continue until the machine is at its narrowest setting. The dough should be paper-thin.
