How to Make Farfalle Pasta with 5 Simple Ingredients

The Italian word for butterfly is "farfalle," and it's such a beautiful pasta shape. All you need is an afternoon and 5 simple ingredients: 2 t salt, 8 eggs, 3.5 c semolina flour, 8 T water, and 3.5 c AP flour. Combine dry ingredients and then wet ingredients in the stand mixer until a dough ball forms. From the big dough ball, form four smaller dough balls; knead each dough ball on a semolina covered surface until smooth -- like a baby's bottom! Once smooth, wrap each dough ball in saran wrap and then pop them in fridge for at least an hour. After an hour, roll each dough ball out on a cold surface sprinkled with semolina flour until dough is paper thin. Then use a pizza cutter to form small squares. Pinch the middle of each square into a farfalle shape! Place the shaped pasta onto a tray lined with parchment paper to dry out. After about an hour of drying out in the fridge, the pasta is ready to be boiled. Buon appetito!
