pasta pasta and more pasta!!!

2 c semolina flour
3 Tbsp olive oil
3 eggs
3/4 tsp salt
2-3 Tbsp water
all purpose for dusting

make a well with the flour.  in the well add the olive oil, eggs, and salt.  you will most likely start incorporating and kneading the pasta dough before all the eggs are cracked and mixed in.  wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for at least 20 minutes in the fridge if you are rolling it out.  lightly dust the counter top and the rolling pin with flour.  cut the dough in half or thirds prior to rolling it out.  roll to the desired thickness, cut into the desired shape, let air dry on a wire rack or tea towel just prior to boiling.  boil in salted water until al dente.

make a well in the flour to add all the wet ingredients
shape the dough and then wrap in saran wrap
roll the dough and slice away
(a pizza cutter works very well)
