1. For pasta
2. n a bowl mix all ingredients and knead until a soft but dry dough is formed. Set aside covered for 30 minutes.
3. Roll it on a clean surface – I use a wide wood cutting board – or use a pasta machine. You can use some more semolina flour to dust if the dough is sticky. When the pasta is thin, cut it in irregular shape and let dry a bit.
4. When the soup is ready drop maltagliati and let cook for 5-10 minutes. You don’t want it to be al dente, but a bit mushy.
5. Serve warm and sprinkle with more ground black pepper.
