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.
1
Place the dough on a lightly floured flat surface and roll out to a rectangle approximately 40×31 cm with a thickness of 2mm. Cut into strips of 1.2 cm wide and about 13-15 cm long.
2
Take a strip one at a time and roll it delicately between your hands, then cut each rolled pasta in half, transfer them to a floured board. Sprinkle a little flour on the rolled pasta.
3
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!
