Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Semolina flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Egg whites
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1.5 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the egg whites, water, and olive oil into the well.
Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the liquid mixture, starting from the center and working outward until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time; if too sticky, dust with a small amount of flour.
Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
After resting, divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll out one portion at a time, keeping the rest covered to prevent drying out.
Using a rolling pin or a pasta machine, roll the dough into a thin sheet, about 1/16-inch thick or your desired thinness.
Cut the dough into noodle shapes of your choice (e.g., fettuccine, linguine, or tagliatelle). Dust the noodles lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles and cook for 2-4 minutes, depending on their thickness, until tender but still slightly firm (al dente).
Drain the noodles and serve immediately with your preferred sauce or toppings. Enjoy!
