Pasta Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1-2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • as needed tablespoons Water Add gradually to achieve the right dough consistency.

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs, olive oil, and a bit of water.
  • Use a fork to mix the eggs with the flour, slowly adding more flour until a dough forms. If it’s too dry, add water a teaspoon at a time.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic.
  • Break the dough into small pieces and roll each into a thin rope, about ¼ inch thick. Cut each rope into 2-inch pieces.
  • To shape the Gemelli Pasta, twist each piece of dough. This twist is what makes Gemelli unique.
  • Put the twisted pasta on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it dry for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
