Pasta Dough Recipe:
For 4 first course servings (3 main course)
300g semolina flour (ideally Italian semola)
175g water at 170F (77C)
Put semolina and water into the food processor or stand mixer with a paddle attachment (in the video I said a dough hook, but a paddle will work faster). Run the machine until a dough just comes together. Get it out onto a clean (unfloured) surface and knead for a total of 8 minutes (longer is fine). It will be sticky in the beginning and might require scraping off the counter, but should become completely smooth and not sticky very quickly. If after 1 minute of kneading the dough is still sticking, knead in flour 1 Tbsp at a time. Even if the dough feels great after 2 min, make sure you still knead for 8. Sprinkle the dough with flour, wrap in plastic, and rest at room temp at least 30 min and up to 5 hours.
If you want to make the dough completely by hand, here is a video that shows how to bring the wet and dry ingredients together using the well method:
Shape the dough as shown in the video. If serving the same day, cover with a towel and let sit until ready to cook. Or put in the freezer for 2 hours on a sheet until hard and then collect into a freezer bag.
Cook in generously salted boiling water. I use 65g salt for 6.5 quarts (6 L) water. After they float, they should take about 2 min, but make sure to taste frequently.
By the way, I adore Pasta Grannies channel It’s very inspiring and you can get many tips.

You deserve a healthier pasta! How to make whole-wheat egg pasta without machine
You cannot compare fresh homemade pasta to the commercial pasta you buy off the supermarket shelves. A lot of people are surprised how simple pasta actually is to make and only requiring two ingredients (plus maybe a little water). Because it’s freshly made, you can cook much faster too, 2-3 minutes in salted boiling water. Once you try fresh pasta, there’s simply no turning back, fresh pasta simply rocks!
This pappardelle pasta recipe uses whole-wheat flour, not only for health benefits, but I also feel it tastes better having that pleasing nutty taste.
There’s no pasta machine required although if you do own one, of course you can use it. Otherwise a rolling pin is all you need plus a little extra elbow grease.
Every flour is different, some require more hydration than others depending on type and age, so you will need to add a little water but the amount can vary. Water will also make the dough softer so it’s easier to roll. If using a pasta machine, you can use less.
Make extra and freeze it, it may take a minute more to cook and it will taste just as good. Best way is to sprinkle semolina, place loosely and separated on a large tray and freeze. Once frozen store in smaller freezer bags.
Now you can enjoy making homemade pasta dough from scratch, watch video and see my next recipe for this pasta.
