Homemade pasta dough built on durum and semolina flour, kneaded until silky and elastic. Rest it an hour, then roll, cut, and cook fresh. One batch yields enough for four hungry people. You'll taste the difference.

Instructions

Combine durum wheat flour and semolina flour in a large bowl. Bring a small saucepan of water to a bare simmer. Add 2/3 cup hot water to flours and mix with a fork until mixture just comes together. Turn out dough onto a surface lightly dusted with durum wheat flour and knead until smooth and elastic, 8-10 minutes (alternatively, using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix on low speed, about 5 minutes). Wrap tightly in plastic wrap; let sit 1 hour at room temperature.
DO AHEAD: Pasta dough can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap tightly and chill.
