Fresh Pasta Dough

Fresh Pasta Dough
Fresh Past From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 45 minutes. It works well as a side dish. If you have eggs, salt, semolina, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it.

Instructions

1
Put flour, semolina, and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. In a glass measuring cup, whisk 1/3 cup water, the eggs, and olive oil to blend. With motor running, pour egg mixture into flour mixture. Process until dough comes together. If it seems dry, add 1 tbsp. water.

Cut dough into 8 equal pieces. Flatten 1 portion (keep others covered) and feed through rollers, then fold dough in thirds crosswise. Repeat rolling and folding, feeding an unfolded side through rollers, until dough looks very smooth and sheets are about 5 in. wide, about 5 times; if dough gets sticky, lightly dust with flour, and if sheets are too narrow, fold and reroll. Then roll dough once without folding at each successively thinner setting until it's as thin as possible; when dough gets too long to handle, cut in half and continue rolling the halves. Set finished pieces on sheets of flour-dusted parchment paper.
