This versatile pasta dough is the perfect foundation for anyone looking to master the craft of handmade Italian shapes. Unlike egg-rich varieties, this recipe relies on a blend of semolina and plain flour to create a firm, elastic texture that holds its shape beautifully during cooking. It is a fantastic low-sugar option for those seeking a wholesome, authentic base for their favourite savoury sauces and seasonal vegetables.
Whether you are planning a relaxed weekend project or a family dinner, this dough is incredibly forgiving and easy to work with by hand. It is particularly suited for rustic, hand-rolled shapes such as orecchiette, pici, or cavatelli. Simply pair your finished pasta with a light drizzle of olive oil, fresh herbs, or a robust tomato ragu for a truly comforting homemade meal.

How to make Pasta Dough for Handmade Shapes
Blend semolina flour, salt, 425ml plain flour, and 240ml warm water in a food processor until mixture just begins to form a ball.

Dough can be made 1 day ahead; wrap in plastic wrap and chill. Let dough come to room temperature before shaping.
