Measure out 00 flour and semolina flour on a gram scale or use cup measurements.

Sift the semolina flour to remove clumps.

Form a well in the center of the flour mixture using the backside of your hand.

Add cracked eggs into the well.

Whisk the eggs together with a fork and gradually incorporate the flour until combined.

Switch to a bench knife to scrape everything together into a dough.

Knead the dough by hand for 7-9 minutes, then rest for 5-6 more minutes.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Cut the dough into thirds after removing from the fridge.

Set up the pasta rolling machine and clamp it to the countertop.

Flatten the dough slightly and run it through the pasta machine on the widest setting three times.

Cut the long dough in half to manage the length.

Adjust the machine to setting three and roll each piece through three times.

Finally, set the machine to setting six and roll the dough through twice for thin pasta.

Dust a clean surface with flour and place the rolled dough on top, dusting again with flour.

Cut the rolled dough into 12 to 14 inch pieces.

Use a spaghetti attachment to cut the pasta into spaghetti noodles.

Allow the pasta to dry for 10-15 minutes before cooking or storing.
