This egg-less pasta dough—perfect for hand made shapes, like orrechiette, cavatelli and pici—quickly comes together in the food processer. For an even easier approach, use a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and let the machine do all the kneading.

Cooks' Note

Semolina flour is available at Italian markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.
