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