Prepare the pasta sheet
INGREDIENTS:
- 250g soft-wheat “00” flour
- 250g durum wheat flour (semolina)
- 5 whole eggs and water up to a total of 250g
Pour the flour into a bowl, then the eggs and water in the middle. Beat the eggs and water with a fork and mix thoroughly with the flour. Do not add salt! Knead the dough with your hands until it is completely smooth and consistent. If the dough is too dry, add some water; if it is too sticky, add some flour. Set the adjustment knob on the Atlas 150 pasta machine to number 0, so that the two smooth rollers are fully open. Feed a ball of dough through the rollers and turn the crank clockwise. Lightly dust both sides of the pasta sheet with flour and fold it in half.
Feed the pasta sheet through the smooth rollers again, for 5-6 times until the pasta sheet is long and regular in shape. Cut the pasta sheet in two and dust each piece lightly with flour on both sides. Set the adjustment knob to 1 and pass the pasta sheet through just once; then, set the adjustment knob to 2 and pass the pasta sheet through once more; then, set the adjustment knob to 3, and so on until you reach level 6. Cut the pasta sheet crosswise in pieces of about 25 cm.

Flour the work surface with Dispenser and roll out a first piece of dough on the table. Place small amounts of filling at the centre of the sheet, at least 5 centimetres from each other.
