Ingredients for homemade tagliatelle dough
•400g flour (200g all purpose flour and 200g semola flour)
•4 eggs
Make the pasta dough:
• Put flour into a bowl or onto a flat surface.
• Make a hole in the center of the mound, break one egg at a time into the center.
• Beat eggs using a fork, slowly draw flour into the center of mound, where the beaten egg is.
• Keep adding flour to the egg until possible, then knead with your hands until it’s smooth and homogeneous.
• If the dough is too soft or sticky, add more flour. Alternatively, if the dough is too stiff, add a few drops of warm water.
• Form into a ball and sprinkle with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Spread the dough out onto your surface, which should be lightly floured to avoid sticking.
• Using a rolling pin, begin rolling pasta out from the center, until you reach the ideal thickness of 1mm.
• You can also use a pasta machine, remembering to flour the dough if it is too sticky.
Prepare fresh egg tagliatelle:
• If possible let the pasta sheet rest for 10 minutes to let it dry a little.
