Pasta Ingredients

Method

Pasta Preparation

1

Make the Dough

On a clean surface, form the flour into a mound and create a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well, add the salt and olive oil.

2

Combine Ingredients

Using a fork, beat the eggs gently, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges of the well until it forms a dough.

3

Knead the Dough

Once combined, knead the dough by hand for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

4

Roll Out the Dough

After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece out using a pasta machine or rolling pin until desired thickness is achieved.

5

Cut the Pasta

Cut the rolled dough into your preferred pasta shape (e.g., fettuccine, tagliatelle, or lasagna sheets).

6

Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh pasta and cook for 2-4 minutes until al dente. Drain and serve with your favorite sauce.
