Step-by-step
- Combine the flour, semolina and sea salt and place on a work surface or large wooden board. The flour should form a peaked mound.
- With your hand, make a hole in the top of the mound so that it resembles a volcano. This hole needs to be big enough to be able to `house' the eggs. Break the eggs into the hole. With your hand or with a fork, gently beat the eggs, then slowly incorporate the flour into the egg mixture. I do this by moving my hand in a circular motion, slowly incorporating the flour from the inside wall of the mound. Don't worry if the dough looks like a mess. This is normal.
- Once fully combined, knead a little more flour into the dough if it feels a little wet and sticky. Set the dough aside and clean the work space. Dust some fresh flour onto the work surface and continue kneading the dough for another 5 minutes.
- Wrap the dough in plastic and set aside in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Next, roll the pasta to the desired thickness and cut into the desired shape.
