Orecchiette
This was one of our favorite pasta recipes from Mario Batalli
2 cups semolina
2 cups all purpose flour
1-11/4 cup tepid water
Mix flours, making a well in center. Slowly add water and mix. Knead for 8-10 min. Rest 10 minutes. Roll into long dowels about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into flat disks about 1/4 inch thick and make indentation with your thumb.
Our other favorite pasta recipe was from time life foods of the world.
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 egg
1 egg white
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
a few drops of water
Put flour in bowl making a well in center. Put in egg, egg white, olive oil and salt. Mix with fork or fingers until dough can be gathered into rough ball. Moisten remaining bits of flour with drops of water and add to dough ball. Knead for 10 minutes, then let rest for 10 minutes before rolling.
