Blecs are handrolled pasta made from a mixture of wheat and buckwheat flours, that have a dumpling-like texture when cooked. Buckwheat flour is naturally gluten-free, resulting in a delicate pasta dough that stretches a little more than standard egg pasta when rolling. For a less intense buckwheat flavor, choose light buckwheat flour.
1 cup 00 flour (such as Antimo Caputo Chef’s Flour Soft Wheat Flour Tipo “00”) (about 4 5/8 ounces), plus more for dusting
1/2 cup buckwheat flour (such as Arrowhead Mills) (about 2 1/2 ounces)
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Semolina flour, for dusting
