Method
Make the dough
- Mix the flour and salt in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Crack in the eggs and add 1 tbsp of water.
- Stir with a fork, drawing in the flour, until it forms a shaggy dough. Add more water a teaspoon at a time until all the flour is taken up.
- Knead for 5 to 8 minutes until the dough is smooth, soft and pliable. It should dent easily when pressed and roll into a sausage without cracking. If it is sticky, knead in a little flour.
- Wrap the dough and rest it at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Make the pasta
- Fit the homogenising screen to the 707, put the noodle nozzle in the drum cap and clip the cap on. Dust a tray under the outlet with semolina.
- Cut the dough into small pieces and roll each into a thumb-thick sausage that drops easily into the feed tube.
- Switch on and feed one piece at a time, letting the auger take each before adding the next.
- Snip the strands at about 20 to 25 cm with scissors. Toss them in semolina and lay them in loose nests.
Cook
- Cook in a large pot of well-salted boiling water for 2 to 4 minutes, tasting from 2 minutes.
- Drain, keeping a splash of the cooking water to loosen the sauce, and serve straight away.
Notes
Makes three main portions or four starters. Keep the dough on the soft side: the 707 manual warns that a dough that is too stiff may damage parts of the juicer.
