Homemade Fresh Semolina and Egg Pasta

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Fresh Semolina and Egg Pasta.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering all your ingredients on a clean surface, creating a tidy workspace that inspires creativity.

2. Step 2

   In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, semolina flour, and a pinch of salt, then form a mound with this mixture.

3. Step 3

   Make a deep well in the center of the mound, like a cozy nest waiting for its treasures.

4. Step 4

   Crack the eggs into this well and drizzle in the olive oil.

5. Step 5

   With a fork, gently whisk the eggs, gradually pulling in the flour from the sides of the well.

6. Step 6

   As the mixture thickens and becomes harder to mix with the fork, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and switch to your hands.

7. Step 7

   Knead the dough for about 8 to 12 minutes until it transforms into a smooth and supple ball.

8. Step 8

   If the dough starts to stick, don’t hesitate to dust it and your work surface with a little semolina flour.

9. Step 9

   Once you’ve achieved that perfect texture, wrap the kneaded dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

10. Step 10

    This resting period is crucial; it allows the gluten to relax, making your pasta easier to roll out.

11. Step 11

    After the dough has rested, it’s time to bring it to life! Use a pasta machine or a rolling pin to roll it out to your desired thickness.

12. Step 12

    Get creative and cut it into your favorite noodle shapes, or use it to craft delightful ravioli filled with your choice of ingredients.

13. Step 13

    Now, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, and when it’s bubbling happily, add your fresh pasta.

14. Step 14

    Cook it for 1 to 3 minutes, adjusting the time based on the thickness of your noodles, until they are tender yet firm to the bite.

15. Step 15

    Once cooked, drain the pasta immediately and toss it with your favorite sauce, letting the flavors meld together beautifully.

16. Step 16

    Enjoy the fruits of your labor, and savor the deliciousness of homemade pasta!.
