For best results, use a kitchen scale to measure the flour for accuracy. If the dough is too dry, add water one teaspoon at a time until it comes together. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. Resting the dough is crucial for a tender pasta. Do not skip this step! Fresh pasta cooks much faster than dried pasta, so keep a close eye on it while it's cooking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, combine the semolina flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the mound. (5 minutes)
02
StepPour the egg, water, and olive oil into the well. Using a fork, gently whisk the wet ingredients together. Gradually incorporate the flour from the sides of the well, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. (5 minutes)
03
StepTurn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough vigorously for 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. The dough should be firm but pliable. (10 minutes)
04
StepDivide the dough in half and shape each half into a ball. Wrap each ball tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a more tender pasta. (30 minutes)
05
StepRemove the plastic wrap. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball to your desired thickness using a rolling pin or a pasta machine. (10 minutes)
06
StepCut the pasta into your desired shape using a sharp knife or pasta attachments. Options include fettuccine, tagliatelle, or pappardelle. Dust the cut pasta with semolina flour to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
07
StepCook the fresh pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water for 2-3 minutes, or until it floats to the surface and is al dente. Drain immediately and toss with your favorite sauce. (5 minutes)
