Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Bluebird Emmer Flour
- 1/4 cup Semolina flour for the work surface
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large eggs beaten
Methods
- In a food processor, combine Emmer flour and salt and process for 5 seconds.
- Separately, combine eggs, water, and oil.
- With the machine on, pour egg mixture in and process until mixture comes together ( 10-15 seconds).
- Lightly flour a work surface with semolina. Knead dough by hand for 30-60 seconds until dough is smooth and pliable. If the dough is too wet to knead continue to add flour until it is pliable but not sticky.
- Divide dough into 2 pieces, shape each piece into a plump disc, then wrap in a plastic bag and let rest for 20 minutes in the refrigerator (can rest for 2-3 days).
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil containing a pinch of salt and a dash of olive oil.
- On a floured work surface roll out a large misshapen rectangle approximately 12 x 20 inches. Cut pasta at the desired length and width. (Also works great with a pasta extruder.)
- Use a spatula to loosen the dough and slide gently into boiling water. Boil 2-5 minutes until dough floats to the top and is “al dente” or slightly firm to bite.
- Drain water and serve with your favorite sauce.
