Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Spelt flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Water (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Semolina flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Place the spelt flour on a clean countertop or in a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the center of the flour.
Crack the eggs into the well, then add the olive oil and salt.
Using a fork, gently beat the eggs and gradually incorporate the flour from the edges of the well. Continue to mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the dough by hand for 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too dry, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it holds together. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle with a little extra spelt flour.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or cover with a damp cloth. Let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
After resting, divide the dough into 4 portions to make it easier to work with.
Lightly dust a clean surface with semolina flour. Roll out one portion of the dough with a rolling pin or use a pasta machine, starting with the thickest setting and gradually moving to a thinner setting, until it reaches your desired thickness.
Cut the rolled-out dough into your preferred pasta shape (such as fettuccine, tagliatelle, or lasagna sheets). Dust the pasta with semolina flour to prevent sticking and set aside. Repeat with the remaining portions of dough.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh pasta and cook for 2–4 minutes or until al dente. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the pasta.
Drain the pasta and serve immediately with your favorite sauce or toppings. Enjoy your homemade spelt pasta!
