Basic Pasta Dough
Homemade pasta dough is a breeze to make with the help of your food processor!
Yield: 1½ pounds, 6 to 8 servings for cut pasta
INGREDIENTS
2½ cups “00” flour, plus more for dusting
²⁄
³
cup semolina flour
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
5 large eggs, lightly beaten
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl of the food processor. Add the flours and salt to the
bowl and process on Low to sift. With the machine running on Low, pour the beaten eggs through
the feed tube as fast as the flour absorbs them. Process until the dough cleans the sides of the work
bowl and forms a rough mass. Continue to process for 30 seconds to knead the dough. Dough
should be tacky, but not wet.
2. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until
smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or
in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
