homemade pasta farfalle

Uncategorized


nothing beats home made pasta, and its not as hard to make as you think.
if you have a pasta machine then it makes it even easier.
i don’t have a machine i made it by hand.

to make the dough i used
100g semolina
200g tipo 00 flour
3 eggs
tipo 00 flour is super-finely milled and perfect for pasta. you cant cant find this then plain all purpose flour will be fine to use.
in a bowl mix the flour and semolina and make a well, add a pinch of salt and crack the eggs and mix them in to the flour to make a wet dough, tip out on to a floured surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth,
now to roll out the pasta
it is important not to skip the rolling and folding step as if you do no matter how well you cook it, you will not be able to get it Al dente.
what i do is roll it out in a long thin strip, and fold one side into the middle, then the other side into the middle and fold it half.
them turn it and roll it out in a long thin strip again and fold it, keep doing this strep about 2-3 times.


the dough should now be smooth you need to roll it out as thin a possible,
this recipe is good for other types of pasta but i decided to make farfalle,
use a pastry cutter to cut a rectangle and pinch i the centre to form a bow shape.

  1. You are so talented. This has been on my bucket list for such a long time and although I cook from scratch everyday I am still intimidated. Pinning just to remind me it can be done without a pasta machine.

  4. I have a pasta machine and enjoy making fettuccine noodles and filled raviolis, but I've never tried farfalle. You made it look so easy, I think I'll get out the machine tonight!

  5. I've often thought about making my own pasta since we are big fans but I've always felt intimidated by it. Your recipe and directions are encouraging since they look so doable! Thanks for sharing at the Shady Porch. D
