Original Recipe courtesy of Chef Geoff Gunn at the 2006 Taste of Tillamook County

3-2-1 Pasta

Ingredients

3 Cups flour (1 1/2 Cups Semolina & 1 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
2 Eggs
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Water
 
1. On a flat  surface, combine Semolina and All-Purpose Flour and make a "volcano". Pour in olive oil and eggs. Gently knead until crumbly. While kneading, gradually add water until a soft dough ball forms. Wrap in plastic or airtight container. Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
2. Knead for 5 more minutes. Repeat this process twice more.
3. Roll out dough using a pasta roller, so you have a sheet about 12 inches long by about 4 inches wide (For ravioli, use the #5 setting on your pasta roller). Drop 2 Tablespoons of your favorite filling at a time onto the pasta, leaving about an inch between spoonfuls.
4. Roll out a second pasta sheet. Lay on top of the first sheet (with filling). Press the two sheets together along the edges, and in between spoonfuls to create raviolis, removing any air bubbles. Be sure all edges are tightly sealed. Cut into separate raviolis using ravioli wheel or cookie cutter.
 
5. Let raviolis rest for 1 hour in refrigerator before cooking (If wrapped tightly, these can be frozen for up to 2 months). Boil in salted water for 2 - 3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook. Drain. Top with Roasted Tomato Cream Sauce (see Geoff's recipe). Garnish with a sprig of fresh Basil.

Makes 5-6 SERVINGS.
