• 2.5 cups Semolina Flour (fine semolina flour, sifted)
• 1 pinch Salt (fine sea salt)

   Place the semolina flour and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl, make a well in the center.

   Time: PT5M

2. Incorporate Eggs

   Crack the eggs into a separate bowl, beat lightly, then slowly pour the eggs into the flour well while mixing with a fork or whisk until a shaggy dough forms.

   Time: PT5M

3. Knead the Dough

   Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it becomes silky and smooth, about 5 minutes.

4. Rest the Dough

   Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

   Quarter the rested dough, keep three pieces covered with the cloth and work with one piece at a time.

   Time: PT2M

6. Roll the Dough

   Flatten the quartered piece and run it through the pasta maker on the thickest setting, gradually decreasing to the thinnest setting to obtain a pliable sheet.

   Time: PT12M

7. Cut Fettuccine

   Feed the thin sheet through the fettuccine cutter attachment or roll and slice with a knife to create ribbons.

   Time: PT5M

8. Dry the Pasta

   Hang the fettuccine strands on a wooden drying rack or lay them on a floured surface for about 15 minutes until slightly tacky but not wet.
