Massa strozzapreti

Ingredientes

• 1 2/3 cups flour 00 (200g)
• 7 tablespoons water (room temperature) (100g)
• 1-2 pinches salt

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   In a large bowl whisk the flour and salt together, make a well in the middle and add the water. Start to mix with a fork then move to a flat surface and knead to form a smooth soft dough, cover with a clean tea towel and let rest 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Place the dough on a lightly floured flat surface and roll out to a rectangle approximately 16x12 inches / 40x31 cm with a thickness of ⅛ inch / 2mm. Cut into strips of ½ inch / 1.2 cm wide and about 5-6 inches / 13- 15 cm long.

3. 3

   Take a strip one at a time and roll it delicately between your hands, (using damp hands will help them slide easier), then cut each rolled pasta in half, transfer them to a floured board. Sprinkle a little flour on the rolled pasta.

4. 4

   Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for approximately 2-4 minutes. Check for doneness, depending on the thickness they may need more or less time. Toss the pasta with your favourite sauce. Enjoy!
