Fresh Pasta

Fresh Pasta Recipe:

FRESH PASTA

1/2 cup   semolina duram flour
1 tsp    of olive oil
1/4 cup   of water

Combine the above ingredients to make a dough. wrap in
a towel and let sit for 30 minutes. [start the sauce
heating...]. After the 30 minutes, [start the water
boiling] divide the dough in half and roll out each
half, allowing the first sheet of pasta to sit while
rolling out the second. When the sheets are dryish,
cut according to how you like your pasta.

The pasta maker recommends rolling, and folding in
half before rerolling. After rolling you are supposed
to sprinkle some flour betwixt the two halves. If you
create a dry enough dough, then you do not need to do
this. in fact, the first time through the rollers, my
dough is pretty crumbly at the edjes, but a few more
passes makes the dough much more workable. Cook for
about 2 minutes.
