Homemade Semolina Pasta Recipe

I love Semolina pasta, and the dough is so easy to make. If you don’t have a pasta machine. you can roll out the dough, and with a knife, cut it into pasta ribbons. As far as what sauce to use, a simple tomato sauce, butter and sage, or legit alfredo (no cream 😳) are perfect.

You’ll need:

2 cups of semolina flour
2 large eggs whisked
2 tbs of water
3 tbs of olive oil
1/2 tsp of salt

Directions:

Put the flour on a work surface and make a well in the middle.
In a bowl mix the water, eggs, salt, and olive oil all together.
Pour this into the flour well.
Using a fork, slowly pull the flour into the egg mixture until it’s all mixed together.
Using your hands form this into a stiff dough.
Knead the dough for 10 minutes until it is elastic. If need be add drops of water along the way.
Form the dough into a ball and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Let the dough sit on the counter in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Use a pasta machine to roll out and cut your pasta or roll it out by hand with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface and cut into pasta ribbons.
As you cut the pasta toss it in some of the flour and form small piles like I did here and place on a kitchen towel. This way the pasta will not stick together as you finish the rest of the dough.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of briskly salted water for just a minute or two.

Have your sauce ready and heated in a large skillet, and then add your cooked pasta directly to the sauce in the skillet. Sauté and toss for just 30 seconds on medium heat to incorporate the sauce into the pasta and serve immediately.
