Best Homemade Semolina Pasta Using Kitchenaid Mixer Pasta Attachment Recipes

KITCHENAID PASTA RECIPE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, add flour. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the eggs. Add the eggs, salt and olive oil.
• In the bowl, start mixing the ingredients together with your hands, about one minute.
• Once you have a work-able "ball," that holds together (it will still be crumbly at this point), transfer the dough to a working surface, whether that's a table, or a wooden board.
• On your working surface, knead the dough until it's yellow in colour and holds together nicely, about 10 minutes.
• Form dough into a ball and wrap in saran wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Attach your pasta roller attachment to the power hub of your KitchenAid stand mixer.
• On a lightly floured surface, cut your ball of pasta dough into 3 equal-sized pieces. Flatten each piece with your hands.
• Lightly flour your hands. On speed 2 and setting 1 on the pasta roller, feed one piece of flattened dough through the roller. Once it has gone through, fold the dough into 3, rotate and feed through again. Rotating the dough is what makes it rectangular in shape. Repeat this process two more times until you've fed all sides of the dough through at setting 1.
• Now change your roller setting to 2 and feed the dough through the roller once. Keep flouring your hands if dough is sticky.
• Keep feeding the dough through on each roller setting (only once) until you've reaching setting 7. I found this was a good thickness for fettucine. Set your dough sheet aside and repeat these steps for the remaining pieces of dough.
• You now have basic, work-able pasta dough sheets! You can make spaghetti, fettucine, ravioli. tortellini, whatever you want from this dough.
• Grab a sheet of pasta dough and cut it into about 3 equal pieces. If you feed the whole sheet through without cutting, your fettuccine will probably be too long to eat.
• Add the fettucine or spaghetti attachment to the power hub of your KitchenAid stand mixer. On speed 2, feed the pasta dough sheet through.
• On a floured baking sheet, place each set of fettuccine/spaghetti on the baking sheet into a pile or "nest" shape.

BASIC SEMOLINA PASTA

Steps:

• Put the flour on a well-cleaned kitchen counter and form it into the shape of a nest.
• In the well in the center of the flour, add the lightly beaten eggs and the salt.
• Start blending the mixture together with a fork, slowly adding the flour from the outer edges of the nest into the center until all of it is well incorporated.
• After the flour-egg mixture is completely incorporated, cover the counter and your hands with a sprinkling of flour. Knead the dough for approximately 15 minutes until it is about the consistency of modeling clay.
• Form the dough into a ball and wrap with plastic wrap and chill for around 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• After chilling, plop the dough onto a clean surface dusted with semolina flour (again, to prevent sticking) and divide it into two even pieces.
• Sprinkle more flour on your counter and on a rolling pin. Flatten the dough ball with the rolling pin (or with a pasta maker if you have one available).
• Roll the dough with the pin unit it becomes translucent. Add dust to the countertop, your hands, and the pin as required. This is a quite lengthy process requiring up to 20 minutes.
• Set aside, and do the same with the other half. Then let the dough rest for another 10 minutes.
• Slice the pasta into thin strips or into shapes suitable for ravioli or other types of noodles.
• Dust the finished noodles with flour and hang them unit they are semi-dry. Once they are partially dry, you can freeze them or store them for up to four days in the refrigerator.
