Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Semolina flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Egg whites
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1.5 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the egg whites, water, and olive oil into the well.

Step 3

Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the liquid mixture, starting from the center and working outward until a rough dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time; if too sticky, dust with a small amount of flour.

Step 5

Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

Step 6

After resting, divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll out one portion at a time, keeping the rest covered to prevent drying out.

Step 7

Using a rolling pin or a pasta machine, roll the dough into a thin sheet, about 1/16-inch thick or your desired thinness.

Step 8

Cut the dough into noodle shapes of your choice (e.g., fettuccine, linguine, or tagliatelle). Dust the noodles lightly with flour to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles and cook for 2-4 minutes, depending on their thickness, until tender but still slightly firm (al dente).

Step 10

Drain the noodles and serve immediately with your preferred sauce or toppings. Enjoy!
