Homemade Pasta Dough image

A blend of two different types of flours and the absence of eggs in this homemade pasta dough give whatever pasta you make from it that signature al dente chew. It's great for using with pasta shapes that need to be sturdy enough to twirl around a fork, give this dough a try when making Pici with Short-Rib Ragu.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 pound

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups "00" flour, plus more as needed
1 1/2 cups semolina flour
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing and serving

Steps:

  • On a clean work surface or in a large bowl, combine both flours and 1 teaspoon salt. Make a well in center; add 1 cup warm water and oil. Using a fork and whisking outward from the center of well, gradually incorporate flour mixture into liquid until a ragged dough forms.
  • Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead until dough is smooth and springs back when pressed with a finger, 8 to 10 minutes. While kneading, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if dough feels too dry; or add more "00" flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if dough feels too sticky.
  • Pat dough into an approximately 1-inch-thick square; tightly wrap in plastic and let stand at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours before using.
