How to make orecchiette pasta

2 ½ cups durum wheat semolina (such as Bob's Red Mill®)

1 cup water or room temperature if needed

Combine semolina and salt in a large bowl or on a marble worktop. Make a well in the center. Pour water a little at a time into the well and mix it with the flour mixture. Add as much water as necessary to make a sticky but compact dough.
