Pasta dough



Semolina dough (1 portion)

1/2 -1/3 cup of Semolina flour
1 egg


Using a fork, begin mixing in the egg with the flour.  The egg will absorb into the flour and once it has integrated enough and there is not much runny egg left, begin using your hands to work the dough.  Continue until reaches a smooth consistency, adding a light dust of flour if necessary.  It should feel similar to kids “playdough.”   Cover the dough with plastic wrap to protect from drying.  For best results, let the dough rest for at least 10 minutes.
Roll the pasta in the pasta machine starting from the thickest mode, progressing one step thinner each time, until desired thickness is reached.
