BASIC PASTA DOUGH
2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp salt
2 eggs 4 Tbsp water (use as needed)
TRADITIONAL PASTA DOUGH
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted 1 cup semolina flour, sifted
1 tsp salt 3 eggs plus 3 additional egg yolks
2 Tbsp olive oil 1/2 cup water (use as needed)
DOUGH INSTRUCTIONS
. Form a mound with the flour and salt. Make a well in the center of the mound.
. Add the eggs and oil (depending on the recipe used) into the well. Using a fork or bench
scraper, mix the dry and liquid ingredients by dragging the dry ingredients into the center.
Keep doing this until you have formed a sticky dough ball. Add water as needed, the
dough should have a soft texture. It should feel moist, but not stick to your fingers.
. On a floured surface, knead the dough ball by pushing down with the heel of your hand
then give the dough a quarter turn. Repeat this until the dough is smooth, elastic,
even in color and no longer sticky.
. Set the dough aside to rest for 15-30 minutes. While resting, wrap it in cellophane wrap or
cover it with a damp towel (or paper towel) to keep it from drying out.
