While the north of Italy is known for egg pasta, the south is better known for producing durum wheat pasta. There are two reasons for this. The south was poorer and eggs were too expensive to use in dough. The dry, hot climate of southern Italy is also better for cultivating durum wheat, while the north tends to grow more soft wheat. This basic durum wheat pasta dough is suitable for various types of pasta, including gnocchetti sardi, cavatelli, spaghetti alla chitarra, strozzapreti and pici.

Dough

Empty the flour into a bowl and create a well in the centre. Pour the water into the well, mix, knead for approx. 10 mins. to form a smooth dough. Shape the dough into a ball, cover and leave to rest at room temperature for approx. 30 mins.

Orecchiette

Shape the dough into rolls the width of your finger, cut into approx. 1 cm pieces. Flatten the pieces of dough by dragging a butter knife over them. Pull the dough off the knife, push the dough inside out to create the orecchiette shape.

Trofie

Divide the dough into pea-sized pieces. Roll each piece from the tip of your middle finger to your wrist, then roll diagonally backwards with the outside of your hand.

To cook

Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for approx. 3 mins. until al dente, drain.

Good to know
Serve with: Serve the trofie with pesto, the orecchiette with tomato sauce, broccoli or cime di rapa.
Tip: Cover the dough with a tea towel while you work.
Note: You can also use this basic dough to make other types of pasta such as cavatelli, gnocchetti sardi, strozzapreti and pici.
