Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups semolina flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Water, as needed

Instructions

  1. Place the semolina flour in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center.
  2. Crack the eggs into the well and add the olive oil.
  3. Using a fork, gradually mix the eggs and olive oil into the flour until a dough forms.
  4. If the dough is too dry, add water, a tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.
  5. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  6. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  7. After resting, roll out the dough to your desired thickness and cut into your desired shapes.
  8. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and serve with your favorite sauce.

Notes

  • Be sure to use semolina flour specifically for pasta-making, as it has a higher protein content than regular flour, which helps create a chewier texture.
