This is a recipe for traditional Italian pasta dough made with durum wheat semolina flour. You can use the dough to make any pasta you desire, such as farfalle, tagliatelle, or ravioli, using either a pasta machine or rolling out the dough by hand.
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups semolina flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup water , or as needed, at room temperature
Instructions
-
1
Mix flour and salt in a large bowl or on a marble work surface. Make a well in the center.

2
Pour water into the well a little at a time, mixing it with the flour. Add as much water as needed to make a sticky but compact dough.
-
3
Knead dough with your hands by flattening the ball, stretching it, and folding the top towards the center. Turn 45 degrees and repeat until dough is elastic and smooth, but not too soft, about 10 minutes.

4
Shape dough into a ball. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.

5
Roll out the dough with a pasta machine or with a rolling pin and cut into your favorite shapes.

Cabbage Roll Soup
I made this cabbage roll soup after having a craving for cabbage rolls but no time to make them. This is a nourishing, hearty soup. So simple to make and the amount of cabbage can be adjusted to your liking. Serve piping hot with crusty bread or garlic toast.
Quick Eggplant Parmesan
This quick eggplant recipe goes well with steamed green beans and French or Italian bread. Although it calls for seasoned bread crumbs, you can use regular ones. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your taste.
Air Fryer Garlic-Parmesan Potato Wedges
This cooking method, along with a little oil and Parmesan cheese, makes these potato wedges come out nice and crispy. I used garlic powder and Italian seasoning, but your favorite seasonings can be substituted. Add salt if you must, but the Parmesan cheese provides plenty of salt, especially for those of us who are trying to reduce excessive salt in our diets.
