When making any kind of dough in your KitchenAid stand mixer, make sure that you don’t use a speed over 2. It’s not necessary as you will overwork the dough as well as put extra stress on your KitchenAid.

Freeze any leftover dough for another day by forming the dough into a disc shape and double-wrapping it in plastic wrap. It can then be frozen for up to one month.

To make pasta dough by hand:

1. Get your ingredients together within easy reach on a clean bench. In a bowl, measure out the flour and semolina and mix them together. Tip the flour onto the bench and make a pile. 2.In the middle of the flour pile, make a well big enough for a couple of eggs. Crack your eggs into the well. 3.With a fork, give the eggs a gentle whisk and slowly start incorporating a bit of the flour at a time into the egg mixture. Continue to add flour. When the mixture starts to thicken, start using your hands to incorporate the rest of the flour into a dough. If the dough is a little dry and crumbly, add a little water to bind the dough together, until you can form it into a ball. 4. Make sure you have a floured surface and place the dough ball in the center. To knead, place the heel of your hand in the center of the dough and push it forward (like you are stretching the dough). Fold the dough in half, turn it over. Repeat this action for 5 minutes until you have a lovely, smooth ball of dough. Now let the dough rest. Pop the dough into a bowl, cover, and leave to rest for an hour. 5. Cook as per the recipe above.
