From Scratch Pasta Recipe

Pasta Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack the eggs into the well. Add the olive oil.

2. 2

   Mix Ingredients

   Using a fork, gently beat the eggs and gradually incorporate the flour from the edges of the well until the mixture is too stiff to mix with a fork.

3. 3

   Knead the Dough

   Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Roll Out the Pasta

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

5. 5

   Cut the Pasta

   Cut the rolled-out dough into your preferred shape (fettuccine, tagliatelle, lasagna sheets, etc.). Dust with flour to prevent sticking.

6. 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 choice of sauce.
