Ingredients

  • 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

Method

  • 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.
