How to Make Fresh, Handmade Fusilli Pasta

Step 1

Mix 100ml of water with 200g of semolina or durum wheat flour. Knead for about 5-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Using a rolling pin, roll your dough out until it is about the thickness of a 2p coin.

Step 3

Using a small knife, cut your dough into lengths around 20-30cm long with a width of 1cm.

Step 4

Roll each strip around a skewer or any other thin, long utensil. It should look like curly hair! You can let it dry for up to 2 hours or cook immediately.

Step 5

Slide the fusilli off the end of the skewer.

Step 6

Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Salt when bubbling. Add your fusilli and cook for 2-3 minutes or until al dente.

Step 7

Serve with your favourite sauce and enjoy. Buon appetito!
