Pasta Dough Recipe

By bweber

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1-1/2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
• 1/2 cup semolina flour

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk the first six ingredients. On a clean work surface, mix the all-purpose and semolina flours, forming a mound. Make a large well in the center. Pour egg mixture into the well. Using a fork or fingers, gradually mix flour mixture into egg mixture, forming a soft dough (the dough will be slightly sticky).

Lightly dust work surface with flour; knead dough gently five times. Divide into six portions; cover with plastic wrap. Let rest 30 minutes.

To make fettuccine, roll each ball into a 10x8-in. rectangle, dusting lightly with flour. Roll up jelly-roll style. Cut into 1/4-in.-wide strips. Cook in boiling water 1-3 minutes.
Yield: 6 servings.
