Spelt flour is a nutritious substitute.

Mix 300 g of 00 flour and 200 g of fine semolina together.

Make a well in the flour mixture and add 5 eggs into the well.

Use a fork to mix the eggs without breaking the walls of the flour well.

Gradually incorporate the flour into the egg mixture until it becomes thick.

Knead the dough using the palms of your hands, pushing it forward and back for about 10 minutes.

If the dough is too dry, wet your hands slightly and continue kneading.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes to allow gluten to develop.

Use a pasta machine to roll out the dough into sheets.
