Ingredients

• 200 grams Semolina flour
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Combine the semolina flour, all-purpose flour, and salt in a large mixing bowl and create a well in the center.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into the well, then add the olive oil and water.

Step 3

Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour from the edges of the well into the eggs, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for 8–10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to relax the gluten.

Step 6

Divide the dough into four equal portions and use a rolling pin or a pasta machine to roll out each portion to your desired thickness.

Step 7

Cut the rolled dough into your preferred pasta shape, or use for ravioli, lasagna sheets, or other recipes.

Step 8

Dust the freshly cut pasta with a small amount of semolina flour to prevent sticking, and cook immediately or store for later use.
