Basic Pasta Dough

Title: Basic Pasta Dough
Categories: Pasta
Yield: 1 Recipe

1/2 c Semolina durum flour
1 ts Olive oil
1/4 c Water

Combine the above ingredients to make a dough. wrap in a towel and
let sit for 30 minutes. [start the sauce heating...]

After the 30 minutes, [start the water boiling] divide the dough in
half and roll out each half, allowing the first sheet of pasta to sit
while rolling out the second.

When the sheets are dryish, cut according to how you like your pasta.

The pasta maker recommends rolling, and folding in half before
rerolling. after rolling you are supposed to sprinkle some flour
betwixt the two halves. If you create a dry enough dough, then you do
not need to do this. in fact, the first time through the rollers, my
dough is pretty crumbly at the edges, but a few more passes makes the
dough much more workable.

Cook for about 2 minutes.
