Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of masa harina, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until evenly distributed.
  2. In a separate small bowl, beat the 2 eggs and combine with 1/3 cup of water and 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir with a fork until a shaggy dough begins to form.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to relax the gluten.
  6. Roll the dough out thinly using a rolling pin or pasta machine, then cut into desired shapes such as fettuccine or sheets.
  7. Cook the fresh pasta in boiling salted water for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it floats to the surface, then drain and serve immediately.
