Ingredients
150g durum wheat flour
75ml water
Method
FORM THE DOUGH: On a clean surface, mound the flour and create a well in the centre. Slowly pour in the water, mixing gently with a fork before bringing everything together with your hands.
KNEAD: Work the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic—it should be firm but not sticky. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
ROLL & CUT: Divide the dough into portions, keeping unused dough wrapped. Roll out each portion to 3mm thickness using a pasta machine or rolling pin. Slice into wide pappardelle ribbons (13mm).
COOK: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fresh pasta cooks quickly—just 2 minutes. Reserve some pasta water before draining to help emulsify your sauce.
Serving Suggestion
Pair this delicate pappardelle with vibrant, seasonal flavours—perhaps a fragrant mushroom ragù, a drizzle of garlic-infused olive oil, or a bright, citrusy Gremolata—an Italian condiment made of parsley, garlic, and lemon zest. Sprinkle it over pasta, veggies, and more for a burst of fresh, bright flavour.
This is pasta at its purest: humble, handmade, and made to be savoured.
Enjoy 🥂
