Additional Information:

Durum flour is high in protein and well suited to making pasta. because they are more easily stretched into long pieces without breaking. The Italians use them to make pasta. According to Nutrition Over Easy, “Durum” is a strain of wheat that is used mostly for pasta, due to its higher protein content. (Think of “Durum” as its first name and “Wheat” as its family name.) But unless it says “whole grain” you can assume that it is refined, which means that the nutritious germ and fibrous bran have been removed.

The word “Semolina,” on the other hand, refers to the fact that the durum wheat is coarsely ground–again, in order to produce good pasta texture. 

Durum semolina flour contains 15g of protein per 100g of flour, higher than normal flour.

Below is the original recipe. The one shows above is of the same proportion.

1. 250g of Semolina flour (Semola mel)
2. 1 egg with water totaling 110ml (or 95ml water without egg)

3. 2 heap tsp salt (for cooking pasta)
4. 1.5L water (for cooking pasta)
