Fresh egg pasta dough recipe
- 330 g (11.6oz) plain (all-purpose) flour, plus extra, for kneading
- 70 g (2.5oz) fine semolina
- 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
- 4 free-range or organic eggs
- Combine the flour, semolina and sea salt and place on a work surface or large wooden board.
- The flour should form a peaked mound.
- With your hand, make a hole in the top of the mound so that it resembles a volcano.
- This hole needs to be big enough to be able to `house' the eggs.
- Break the eggs into the hole.
- With your hand or with a fork, gently beat the eggs, then slowly incorporate the flour into the egg mixture.
- I do this by moving my hand in a circular motion, slowly incorporating the flour from the inside wall of the mound.
- Don't worry if the dough looks like a mess.
- This is normal.
- Once fully combined, knead a little more flour into the dough if it feels a little wet and sticky.
- Set the dough aside and clean the work space.
- Dust some fresh flour onto the work surface and continue kneading the dough for another 5 minutes.
- Wrap the dough in plastic and set aside in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Next, roll the pasta to the desired thickness and cut into the desired shape.
