• Add 1/2 cup water and 1 tbs oil, pouring into the well formed by your dry ingredients.
• Mix to make a stiff dough.
• Add one tablespoon of water at a time while combining mixture, until desired consistency is achieved (moderately stiff dough).
• Knead 10 minutes or until dough is elastic.

• On a lightly floured surface roll out to desired thickness and cut as desired.

SEMOLINA PASTA DOUGH

Steps:

• place first 5 ingredients in the bowl of a food processor using the metal blade.
• pulse food processor until dough takes on a corn-meal type texture.
• SLOWLY drizzle water while processor is running until dough forms a ball (sometimes we don't even need any water, so watch your dough closely).
• Remove dough to a lightly floured surface.
• From here we use our pasta machine to form our noodles. We use the widest setting for 6 cycles, lightly flowering the surfaces of the pasta if they become sticky. We then do only 1 cycle per setting until dough is to desired thickness.
• Let sheets sit for 15 minutes prior to using your preferred cutting technique.
• We spin the noodles into loose nests and dry on a cookie sheet for about 30 minute prior to cooking.
• These will cook very quickly, even the wider noodles in under 5 minute
• I have found a good tip for knowing when they are done is when they start to float!

EASY SEMOLINA PASTA DOUGH

Steps:

• Sift the all purpose flour and semolina flour together. *This is very important*.
• Using a Stand Mixer with the Dough Hook: Put all ingredients into the mixing bowl and turn the mixer on medium speed.
• Allow the dough to mix until it forms a ball.
• Take the dough out and lay on a lightly floured surface. The dough should be pliable, but not too sticky. If it sticks to your hands, mix in a little bit more semolina flour.
• Push the pasta dough through the pasta attachment on your stand mixer.
• Dust pasta with semolina flour as it comes out of the attachement.
• Toss fresh pasta in semolina flour and place on a tray. *Be liberal when dusting and tossing the fresh pasta in semolina flour so that it does not stick together.*.
• By Hand: On a clean work surface, make a mound of the flours and salt with a well in the middle.
• Add the eggs to the well, and start stirring with a fork, slowly incorporating all the flour until the dough comes together.
• Knead the dough until it is soft and pliable. This will take several minutes.
• Run the pasta dough through the widest setting on your pasta machine, fold into thirds, and roll again. Continue this process until the dough is shiny and elastic.
• Work the dough through the settings of the machine until the desired thickness is reached.
• Use the attachments to cut the dough into whatever shape you like.
• Toss fresh pasta in semolina flour and place on a tray. *Be liberal when dusting and tossing the fresh pasta in semolina flour so that it does not stick together.*.
• Cook fresh pasta in salted boiling water. Length of time depends on the shape you make. Fresh pasta will cook much faster than store bought pasta.
