  • pasta machine

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs (approx. 150g without shells)
  • 65 g semolina flour (6 Tbsp.)
  • 185 g all purpose or 00 flour (1½ cup)
  • tsp. olive oil

Instructions 

Pasta Dough

  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and weigh. 3 large eggs should weigh approximately 150g.
  • In a separate bowl, weigh out enough flour to be equal to 1.64 times the weight of the eggs (250g) at a ratio of 3 parts white flour (185g) to 1 part semolina (65g).
  • Place the flour in a large bowl and form a volcano shape.
  • Whisk the eggs together and pour into the center of the volcano.
  • Add olive oil to the eggs.
  • With a fork, mix together the flour, eggs, and oil until combined into a shaggy dough.
  • Use one hand and continue combining the dough until all the flour is mixed in.
  • Once the dough ball is solid, remove from the bowl and flatten the ball of dough onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Knead the dough by pressing down three times with the heel of the palm.
  • Rotate the dough 90°, fold the dough back on itself.
  • Repeat the kneading process for about 10 minutes until the ball of dough is solid but stretchy and springs back when lightly pressed with the thumb.
  • Once the kneading is complete, wrap the ball of dough is plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Rolling Pasta

  • Cut the dough into four equal parts.
  • Press out one ball of dough into a flat rectangle. Leave the unused balls of dough covered to stay fresh.
  • Set the pasta machine to its largest setting (0) and feed the dough through.
  • Fold the edges of the pasta sheet into the center to form a rectangular shape and feed through the machine again.
  • Fold any uneven edges over and feed through the machine for a third pass.
  • Reduce the machine setting one size and feed the dough through again.
  • Continue reducing the machine setting and passing the dough through until it reaches the desired thickness.

Tagliolini

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment and dust lightly with flour.
  • Roll out the dough sheets to a thickness of 8 or 9.
  • Cut the sheets to desired length.
  • Feed the cut sheets through the tagliolini cutter on the pasta machine.
  • Lay out the cut tagliolini on the baking sheet and dust the pasta lightly with flour.
  • Allow the tagliolini to dry for an hour or two before portioning. Cook immediately, refrigerate for 2-3 days or freeze for future use.

Fettucine

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment and dust lightly with flour.
  • Roll out the dough sheets to a thickness of 6.
  • Cut the sheets to desired length.
  • Feed the cut sheets through the fettucini cutter on the pasta machine.
  • Lay out the cut fettucini on the baking sheet and dust the pasta lightly with flour.
  • Allow the fettucini to dry for an hour or two before portioning. Cook immediately, refrigerate for 2-3 days or freeze for future use.

Garganelli

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment and dust lightly with flour.
  • Roll out the dough sheets to a thickness of 6.
  • Cut the sheets to into 1½ to 2-inch squares.
  • Position a diamond of pasta dough on a grooved gnocchi board and roll around a small dowel to form a cylinder with grooves on the outside.
  • Lay out the formed garganelli on the baking sheet.
  • Allow the garganelli to dry for an hour or two before portioning. Cook immediately, refrigerate for 2-3 days or freeze for future use.
