Instructions
Instructions
- Prepare Pasta Fresca x Semolina Pasta Dough and allow it to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Once the dough has rested, begin rolling it into thin sheets using a rolling pin or pasta machine.
- Place the rolled sheets on a surface dusted with Caputo Semolina Flour. Work with one sheet at a time. You do not need to keep this dough covered—allowing it to dry slightly will help it hold its shape better as you form the pasta.
- Cut the dough into rectangles by slicing across the length with a knife, then using a serrated pasta cutter across the width to create the classic farfalle edge.
- To shape, pinch the straight edges of each rectangle toward the center. Fold them inward once more and press firmly to seal. This will form the traditional "bow tie" shape. Place the shaped pasta on a plate or tray dusted with Caputo Semolina Flour and allow it to dry until ready to cook.
- Cook immediately, or allow the pasta to dry completely before sealing in an airtight container and freezing for up to 3 months.
- To cook, place the pasta in a pot of boiling salted water for 2–3 minutes, then serve with your favorite sauce. We love it with a pea and pancetta cream sauce.
Notes
- Because this dough contains egg, it is best to freeze the pasta once it has dried to prevent spoilage.
- If cooking from frozen, increase the cooking time by 1–2 minutes.
