A staple of Italian cuisine, homemade tagliatelle is relatively easy to make. I don’t understand why so many homemade pasta recipes use only 00 flour; it’s less healthy and, although easier to work with, can be so sticky that it ruins the result in some cases. Mixing 0 flour with semolina produces a less sticky dough, perfect for tagliatelle and spaghetti alla chitarra.
Ingredients
- 200 g. of Manitoba flour or any 0 or 00 flour
- 200 g. of Semolina
- 4 Eggs
Directions
- To prepare the noodles, start by pouring the two flours into a bowl, create a hole and break the eggs in the center at room temperature. Then mix for about 5-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Now form a ball and wrap it in a cloth and let the dough rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Divide it into eight parts to roll it out more easily.
- Flour one part thoroughly and flatten it, store the other two portions in the cloth so they will not dry out.
- Take the dough puller and place it on the maximum thickness and pass the dough between the rollers
- To get a first rather thick sheet, then fold the two flaps of the sheet towards the center to give a more regular shape
- Then flour it slightly and pass it between the rollers, continue in this way several times until you reach the desired thickness.
- Lay the dough obtained on the floured pastry board, and equalize with a knife the ends to make the dough regular
- Sprinkle it with a little semolina on both sides, let the sheets dry for 5 minutes.
- Cut the tagliatelle using the crank machine cutter or with a knife.
- Place them on floured pastry board and cover with a cloth to preserve humidity.
- Cook and enjoy
