Fresh Wheat Semolina Spaghettoni
Fresh Wheat Semolina Spaghettoni
Ingredients
- 500 g fine durum wheat semolina (see note) or unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 100 ml warm water (about)
Instructions
- Fit the pasta machine with the spaghettoni nozzle.
- In the bowl of the pasta machine, place the semolina and salt. Close the lid. In a small bowl, beat the eggs. Place the eggs in the pouring container and add enough water to get a total 200 ml of liquid. Select the Pasta function. Pour the egg and water mixture through the opening in the lid.
- Sprinkle a baking sheet with semolina. Place in front of the nozzle of the pasta machine.
- Cut the pasta as it comes through the nozzle into noodles 12 inches (30 cm) long. It is possible that the first batch of noodles is not the desired texture; if this is the case, cut the noodles as they come out and return them to the bowl of the pasta machine. The next batch of noodles should have a smoother texture. Coat the noodles with semolina and form them into little nests.
- Keeping the nests of noodles intact, shake off any excess semolina. The noodles are now ready to be cooked.
