METHOD
This is an easy DIY homemade pasta that will impress whoever you are cooking for and all by hand!
1. Begin by mixing the semolina and AP flour together in a big bowl with sea salt. Next, slowly add your warm water whilst mixing the flour. Next, add your olive oil.
2. Begin to knead your dough – pressing the heel of your palm into the dough, then folding the dough back towards you. You may have some flour leftover at the bottom of the bowl and that is totally okay – we will use it later. Just be sure that you get most of it and keep those hands moving by kneading the dough. After about 3-5 minutes of kneading, take out the dough from the bowl and knead on your floured countertop for one more minute. You want a smooth ball of dough. After those 5 minutes or when you get tired, give the dough some tough love, by throwing it down onto your countertop – warning: this may get a little messy. After a minute, put the ball of dough in a lightly floured bowl and cover with a kitchen towel.
3. Allow the dough to settle from 15 – 30 minutes or even up to one hour.
4. Take your dough out of the bowl and onto a floured surface. Roll the dough out lightly with a rolling pin.
