This egg-less pasta dough—perfect for hand made shapes, like orrechiette, cavatelli and pici—quickly comes together in the food processer. For an even easier approach, use a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and let the machine do all the kneading.

Ingredients

6–8 servings (about 24 ounces)

1 1/2 cups semolina flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface

  1. Step 1

    Blend semolina flour, salt, 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, and 1 cup warm water in a food processor until mixture just begins to form a ball. Turn out dough onto a work surface lightly dusted with all-purpose flour and knead, incorporating more flour if needed to keep dough from sticking, until smooth and elastic, 8–10 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature 1 hour.

  2. Do Ahead

    Step 2

    Dough can be made 1 day ahead; wrap in plastic wrap and chill. Let dough come to room temperature before shaping.

Cooks' Note

Semolina flour is available at Italian markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.

  • I tried this for the first time tonight to make cavatelli and it was delicious! Saving the recipe to make again and again (and again, I’m sure!)

  • this pasta is amazing - i regularly make handmade pasta, but have not tried this recipe before - this is the easiest and most satisfying outcome yet. soft bite, firm texture, holds up well to sauces. easy to assemble. i made it for my birthday dinner - swapping in a rather wet baked sweet potato (needed to add a bit of water to get it to hold). but this recipe is lovely - i think without the egg - it'll lend itself to other flavorful substitutions (stock? squash? syrups of all sorts?)
