Most of pasta recipe online are flour pasta while the most commonly sold pasta are of semolina.
I have tried to make pasta out of different size of semolina and hot water but this taste more like gnocchi. Probably because of the thick shape. I'll try again using my pasta machine to make thin ones.

What about you ? Do you make pasta dough ?
Out of flour, semolina or a mix of them ?
Which form likes you the best ?

There's commercial pasta from soft wheat but I think it should be durum flour; that can be semola or a white one. Both worked fine for me.

Definitely use your machine. Maybe it's that the inside is undercooked or the outside overdone. Egg pasta is somewhat easier to get right too, if you eat eggs, try that.
