Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Mix the flour and salt in a bowl, then create a well. Pour in the water and extra virgin olive oil and mix together until well combined. You can also use the hook attachment of a stand mixer to combine.
Transfer to a working surface and knead to a smooth and soft dough. Gently press your finger on the dough; if it springs back slowly, it's perfect!
Form dough to a ball, wrap in cling foil and let chill in the fridge for 1/2 hour.
Once the dough has been refrigerated, cut into 2 equal portions. (Cut in 4 equal portions if you are using the pasta attachment on the KitchenAid stand mixer).
Depending on the type of pasta you are making, go ahead and cut/shape as desired. If you do not have any pasta making equipment, you can thinly roll out the dough into a long rectangle and cut into long noodles.
Place pasta on a lined tray and sprinkle with semolina flour to dry out the pasta and let it set for about 15-20 minutes.
You can either cook your pasta immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Notes

Note: In the recipe photo, we chose to make rigatoni. However, you can create any shape you'd like, even if you don't have a pasta machine! You can cut the dough into long strips to create noodles, cut into small squares to make gnocchi, or whatever else your heart desires!
