Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Follow the instructions for Egg Pasta, removing the dough to a semolina-dusted board after adding the water. This dough is a bit harder to work with and will require a good 3 to 4 minutes of vigorous kneading to develop the gluten. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and allow to rest as with the Egg Pasta.
Step 2
To roll either type of pasta, first cut each dough in half and keep the other half wrapped in plastic while you work with the first half. Dust the dough liberally with flour before and between rolling. Begin on the highest setting for your roller, working your way down to #1 thickness for pappardelle.
Step 3
As you roll on the final setting, dust and fold the dough over in foot-long segments. With a sharp knife, cut horizontally at 1-inch intervals. Put on a baking sheet and toss with semolina. You can leave the cut pasta on a baking sheet or on a wire rack for a few hours before cooking. Pasta that has been allowed to sit tends to stick together while cooking, so give the pasta a vigorous stir when you first put it in boiling water.
