When making pasta dough, use your judgment about how much flour to add. You may need to add more or less flour depending on the level of humidity

Serves 10

• 3 cups durum wheat (semolina) flour

• 1/4 teaspoon iodized salt

• 3 eggs

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1/4 cup water (room temperature)

1. Sift together the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl.

2. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl. Mix the olive oil and water into the eggs.

3. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the egg mixture. Mix together the wet and dry ingredients by hand or in a mixer with a dough hook until the dough forms into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 1 day.

4. Allow dough to return to room temperature if it has rested in the refrigerator for more than an hour.

5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface, then form or shape pasta as desired.

6. To cook, bring a large pot of water to a slow boil. Add the pasta, and stir to prevent sticking. Cook until al dente. (Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the pasta formed.) Drain, and serve as desired.

Notes:
Semolina flour is the basis of most types of pasta and ftalian breads. It is made from hard durum wheat and has a fine texture. It contains more protein and vitamins than regular white flour and many essential amino acids. Semolina also has a low calorie count and a very low fat content.
