Homemade spaghetti pasta dough

Ingredients:

• 2 cups durum wheat flour (semolin), plus extra for finishing rolling
• 2 cups of flour
• 1–1.25 cups of heated water

Preparation:

1. Place both types of flour in a large bowl and mix well. Make a well in the center and gradually add water. Mix with your hands until a dough forms. You may need more or less water, depending on the humidity in your kitchen.
2. Place the dough on a floured work surface and knead it as you would for bread for 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.
3. Roll the dough into long "ropes" about 2 cm thick. Start cutting off pieces every 0.6–1 cm. Roll each piece between your palms until the dough becomes thinner, forming a strand 15–20 cm long. Place on a wooden board and sprinkle generously with flour.
