Instructions

  1. Separate 6 chicken eggs. Sift the flour and semolina into a bowl or on a worktop. Make a well and add the egg yolks and the whole egg to the flour. Add the salt, oil and 2 tablespoons of water. Knead everything together (at least 15 minutes) until a firm, but still malleable dough (lump) is formed. If the dough is too dry (i.e. it crumbles), add 1 tablespoon of water or a few drops of oil. Flatten the dough a little, wrap it in cling film and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. The dough can then be processed by hand or in a pasta machine.
  3. If pasta is made from the dough (spaghetti, tagliatelle, etc.), the cooking time is relatively short. In the boiling water, the noodles only need 3 - 4 minutes.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
