Pasta

directions

1. 1

   in a bowl, combine the flour, semolina and eggs, and knead for 10 mins. you can use a stand mixer to knead, or you can put into a food processor and pulse it for about 1 min.

2. 2

   take it out and knead it for 4-5 mins. you should be left with a smooth (ish) dough. it's ok if the dough still looks brain-like, the rest time will allow it to hydrate and smoothen out. cover in cling film and leave for 20 mins.

3. 3

   after 20 mins (or more), roll out in a pasta roller. at the widest setting, roll it through, fold in half and pass through again, repeat about 10 times. drop a setting on the roller and pass through, only once this time, flour the sheet each time. you may need to cut the sheet in half several times during the process. after flattened very thinly, cut it to shape and allow to dry for a few mins while you heat up the pasta water.

4. 4

   in a pot add water and heat to a boil. add a lot of salt, it needs to be as salty as the sea. drop in your pasta, and it should be cooked within a min.
