Pasta Dough for Handmade Shapes image

This egg-less pasta dough-perfect for hand made shapes, like orrechiette, cavatelli and pici-quickly comes together in the food processer. For an even easier approach, use a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and let the machine do all the kneading.

Yield 6-8 servings (about 24 ounces)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 cups semolina flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface

Steps:

  • Blend semolina flour, salt, 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, and 1 cup warm water in a food processor until mixture just begins to form a ball. Turn out dough onto a work surface lightly dusted with all-purpose flour and knead, incorporating more flour if needed to keep dough from sticking, until smooth and elastic, 8-10 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Do Ahead
  • Dough can be made 1 day ahead; wrap in plastic wrap and chill. Let dough come to room temperature before shaping.
