ummm hi. it took me 2 weeks and many km's of travel to find 00 or semolina flour. where the frog am i supposed to find this nonsense? and i tried all purpose flour for the basic egg pasta with my new kitchen aid attachments and it was terrible. overall, this is a ridiculous commercial for kitchen-aid, which i already have, obviously so if you want to sell it further, bring it down to basics rather than requiring special ingredients that aren't available in every country.

I agree, with myronlas whats fresh about making pasta out of a box of mix. I will say this is at least showing me how to use my gadgets.

Thank you Peter Pasta! This video guided me to successfully making fettucini with all purpose flour. My one deviation was sifting the flour beforehand.

One question - with the 2 cups 2 eggs quantity how many dough balls should I have?

[myronlas]

Fresh pasta with mix out of the box?FAIL.

thank you Peter Pasta! yes i am using a new kitchen aid stand mixer with the roller attachments and it is an awesome machine. my simolina dough is seeming to dry out to quickly and now i think i know why.thanks for anwsering my question peter.

Hello bigtonutz,

If you are using the Kitchenaid pasta roller, no. If you are using an Atlas or similar countertop pasta roller you do want to let the dough rest but I would not do it in the fridge. The fridge will stiffen the dough and make it difficult to roll. The reason for this is that semolina is a high protein flour which in turn will make it a firmer dough at the correct moisture levels (see videos). Letting it rest relaxes the gluten in turn making it easier to roll.

peter is it necessary to put a simolina dough in the frig for an hour or can you just roll it out?thanks great video!

It's "Ecco lE pastE" "PastA" is the singular form of "le paste."
