STEP 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 400 g of semolina with a pinch of salt to prepare the dough base.
STEP 2: Slowly add 200 ml of water, mixing until a smooth dough ball forms.
STEP 3: Knead the dough for about 5 to 10 minutes on a floured work surface until it is smooth.
STEP 4: Divide the dough into small portions and shape each portion into rolls. Then, cut each roll to form fusilli.
STEP 5: Cook the fusilli in a large pot of salted boiling water for about 10 to 12 minutes until they are tender.
STEP 6: Drain the fusilli and serve them with your choice of sauce, or let them dry if you are preparing them for later.
Preparing homemade fusilli is a rewarding experience that excites the taste buds. With just a few simple ingredients, such as durum wheat semolina and water, you can create amazing fresh pasta. The technique is just as accessible: just mix and knead the dough well, then shape it according to your desires.
Consulting preparation tips, such as using a pasta machine or a laminator, can help you achieve the desired texture. Don’t forget to let the pasta dry a bit for even cooking. You can serve your fresh fusilli with a variety of sauces or vegetables, like seasonal ones to enhance the flavors.
