Ingredients
Units
- 1 cup Manischewitz wine
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 ½ cups semolina flour (plus extra for dusting baking sheets)
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting work surface)
- 2 tsp finely ground kosher salt
- 1 tsp finely ground black pepper
- 2 ½ Tbsp red beet powder (optional, for additional color)
To serve:
- olive oil, chilli flakes, grated cheese
Instructions
- Place wine in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Sift flour, salt, pepper and beet powder (if using) into a bowl and whisk to combine. Dump onto a clean work surface and make a well in the center.
- Lightly whisk cooled wine, olive oil, eggs and egg yolks, and pour slowly into the well within the flour mixture, working mixture together with a fork or your fingers until completely combined. Use a bench scraper to turn the dough over itself until it forms a shaggy mass.
- Knead dough with the heel of your hand for 3-5 minutes, dusting with flour if dough seems very sticky. Rotate dough and continue to knead until smooth and uniform in color. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
- Set up your pasta maker according to package directions and set up a large baking sheet sprinkled with semolina (or if you’re a professional, set up your pasta drying rack).
- After dough has rested, cut into four pieces. Rewrap the three pieces you’re not using so they don’t dry out. Roll out the piece of dough until it’s about 1-inch thick. Dust with flour and pass through the widest setting on the pasta roller. Fold into thirds and repeat, every few folds switching to a narrower setting until you’ve arrived at setting 2 or 3 with long sheets of dough. Flour both sides of the dough.
- Switch the pasta roller to the linguini or fettuccini setting and set up the baking sheet under the roller. Pass the dough through the roller and onto the baking sheet or drying rack. Repeat previous step with remaining three pieces of dough.
- When you’re ready to cook, bring a large pot of water to boil. If the pasta has fully dried out, it may cook for up to 2-3minutes, but could take as little as 1 minute. Set a timer for 1 minute, then place pasta in water. After 1 minute, begin testing pasta for doneness.
- Drain pasta and serve with olive oil, chilli flakes and grated cheese if desired.
