Ingredients

Instructions

  • I have a really handy guide on the recipe for my easy homemade pasta dough for rolling the pasta sheets.
  • Check out the photos above for cutting the finished strands.
  • Roll out a pasta sheet and try to get it as wide as the roller so you get nice even wide sheets. The thickness you roll to depends on your personal preference. I mainly roll to setting 7 on my Kitchen Aid, this is the second to thinnest. I roll to 6 on my Marcato, do whatever feels right to you.
  • Cut into 10-11 inch (25 - 28cm) lengths and sprinkle evenly with coarse semolina.
  • Fold each end in to meet in the middle (definitely check out photos above!).
  • Cut into whatever widths you like, there is no rule! You could do 1 - 2 inches (3cm-4cm) wide. 
  • Unfold them and lay them on top of each other. There should be a good layer of semolina on the underside of each one to stop them sticking.
  • Lay them out on a tray flat or you can wrap them round your hand in a nest.
  • They won't take long to cook, check one after 2 mins.

Notes

  • Make sure you read all my notes and look at the photos above!
