Garganelli are hand-rolled pasta tubes with delicate ridges that catch and carry all the sauce. They're made from the silkiest egg dough!
- Prep Time: 2 hours
- Total Time: 2 hours
- Yield: 4
- Category: Pasta
- Method: Hand shaped
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
- 1 lb pasta dough
- all-purpose flour, for rolling
- semolina flour, for dusting
special equipment
- pasta roller or rolling pin
- wooden dowel (about 1/4” thick) or smooth wooden pencil
- gnocchi board or ridged surface
Instructions
- Cut the dough into 4 pieces and work with one at a time, keeping the rest covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the pasta dough into a thin sheet, about 1/16 inch thick. If using a pasta roller, start on the widest setting and gradually roll it thinner, stopping at setting 6 on the Kitchen Aid attachment.
- Dust a baking sheet with semolina flour. Use a sharp knife or pasta cutter to cut the sheet into 1 1/2” squares and transfer to the baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- To form the garganelli tubes, place one square diagonally on a gnocchi board (so it looks like a diamond). Lay a wooden dowel across the center and lift the bottom corner of the pasta square to wrap it around the dowel.
- Gently roll the dowel forward, pressing evenly to create ridges on the pasta while sealing the overlapping edges to form a tube. Slide the garganelli off the dowel and onto the semolina dusted tray. Continue with the remaining squares. ensuring each piece is lightly dusted with flour to prevent sticking.
- Roll out another piece of dough and repeat steps 2 through 4 until all of the dough has been rolled, cut, and shaped.
- Refrigerate for up to 8 hours, loosely covered. Alternatively, freeze for 1 hour until firm and transfer to a freezer bag to store for up to 2 months.
- Cook in a large pot of salted boiling water for 2- 3 minutes, until tender but al dente. Sauce and serve as desired.
