Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1/2 cup (50g) fine Semola Flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon (1.5g) sea salt
  • 3 Liters water
  • 1 Tablespoon (18g) sea salt

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  2. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
  3. Crack eggs into the well, add yolks and olive oil.
  4. Use a fork to gradually incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients, starting from the center.
  5. Once a shaggy dough forms, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of dough into a thin sheet. Aim for about 1/16 inch (1.5mm) thickness.
  9. Use a sharp knife or pasta cutter to cut the dough into desired noodle shapes (e.g., fettuccine, tagliatelle, pappardelle).
  10. Toss the cut noodles with a little flour to prevent sticking and let them dry on a drying rack or clean kitchen towel for about 15-30 minutes (optional).
  11. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until al dente.
  12. Drain the pasta immediately and toss with your favorite sauce.
