Pasta Fresca all’Uovo – 100 % durum v1.0

4 people · 10–15 min kneading, 30–60 min fridge rest and 20–30 min warming, plus rolling

Equipment: Worktop and hand-cranked pasta machine with three cutting widths

Quantities follow your selection; time and temperature do not scale automatically.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 400 g finely milled durum wheat (semola rimacinata) – provisional quantity
  • 4 large whole eggs – provisional quantity
  • Water, a few drops only if needed

Allergens: Wheat/gluten and egg.

Method

  1. Bring the dough together

    Mix finely milled durum wheat and whole eggs into a dough. Adjust according to consistency, as egg sizes vary. Add only a few drops of water if needed. The dough should be firm and supple, not sticky.

  2. Knead by hand

    Knead the dough thoroughly by hand for 10–15 minutes.

  3. Rest in the fridge

    Shape into a ball and wrap tightly in cling film. Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes.

  4. Let warm slightly

    Remove the dough about 20–30 minutes before rolling so it is easier to work.

  5. Roll gradually thinner

    Pass dough through the hand-cranked pasta machine, starting at the widest setting and gradually reducing thickness. Use the cutter for ribbon pasta or retain sheets for lasagne.

About this version

The method is confirmed by the user. 400 g flour and 4 large eggs for 4 portions are a provisional basic recipe; we do not know whether these were the old measurements. The machine’s cutting widths have not been measured.

Details that make a difference

Good to know before you cook

100 % durum

Do not replace this dough with a 50/50 flour mixture. All-durum dough can be firmer to work; thorough kneading and resting are part of the method.

Three cutting widths

The machine has three cutting widths. We need to bring it out before giving exact widths and names for the pasta shapes.

Basic recipe under development

This covers the dough and method. Instructions for individual pasta shapes, thickness and cooking times still need testing.
