Alkaline Semolina Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Mix flour and salt in a large bowl or on a marble work surface. Make a well in the center.
• Pour water into the well a little at a time, mixing it with the flour. Add as much water as needed to make a sticky but compact dough.
• Knead dough with your hands by flattening the ball, stretching it, and folding the top towards the center. Turn 45 degrees and repeat until dough is elastic and smooth, but not too soft, about 10 minutes.
• Shape dough into a ball. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
• Roll out the dough with a pasta machine or with a rolling pin and cut into your favorite shapes.

Steps:

• Thoroughly sift together all-purpose flour, semolina flour, and pinch of salt. On a clean surface, make a mountain out of flour mixture then make a deep well in center. Break the eggs into the well and add olive oil. Whisk eggs very gently with a fork, gradually incorporating flour from the sides of the well. When mixture becomes too thick to mix with a fork, begin kneading with your hands.
• Knead dough for 8 to 12 minutes, until it is smooth and supple. Dust dough and work surface with semolina as needed to keep dough from becoming sticky. Wrap dough tightly in plastic and allow it to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Roll out dough with a pasta machine or a rolling pin to desired thickness. Cut into your favorite style of noodle or stuff with your favorite filling to make ravioli. Bring water to a boil in a large pot, then add 4 teaspoons salt. Cook pasta until tender but not mushy, 1 to 8 minutes depending on thickness. Drain immediately and toss with your favorite sauce.

Steps:

• Whisk egg, milk, salt, and sugar together in a bowl. Add semolina flour and whisk until combined.
• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a griddle or pan over medium heat. Drop ladlefuls of batter in batches into the hot pan and fry until set and golden, 2 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway. Remove from the pan and let cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.
• Roll up pancakes and thinly slice into "noodles."
• Heat remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add pepper flakes and "noodles." Pan-fry until almost crisp, 2 to 4 minutes.
