Directions
-
Place the semolina flour in a large bowl and create a well in the center.
-
Pour the water into the well and gradually incorporate the flour with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
-
Turn the dough onto a clean work surface and knead firmly for 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
-
Cut the dough into manageable pieces and flatten each piece with a rolling pin.
-
Feed the dough through the widest setting of your pasta machine, folding it in thirds after each pass.
-
Repeat passing through the widest setting 4-5 times to laminate the dough.
-
Gradually decrease the machine setting, passing the dough through each setting once until it reaches the desired thickness.
-
Cut the sheets into your desired shape using the machine's cutter or a knife.
-
Dust the cut pasta with semolina to prevent sticking and cook immediately in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes.
