How Do You Make Lasagna Noodles With Semolina Flour?
Semolina flour is a coarse, yellow flour, made from durum wheat. Durum wheat has hard wheat berries that are high in protein and gluten, making it a widely used flour for pasta. The high gluten content creates strong, chewy pasta noodles that are flavorful and hearty. The most traditional recipes for pasta dough call for semolina, water, oil and nothing else.

Combine the semolina, all-purpose flour and salt in the mixing bowl. Shape the flour mixture into a mound. Scoop out a hole in the middle of the mound to make a well. Lightly beat the eggs with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the well in the flour mixture. With your hands, draw the flour into the egg mixture using a circular motion to gradually combine the flour mixture with the eggs. Mix until the dough forms
