Method
Pasta Preparation
- 1
Make the Pasta Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center, crack the eggs into the well, and gradually mix the flour into the eggs using a fork. Once the dough starts to come together, knead it on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 2
Rest the Dough
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This will make it easier to roll out.
Sauce Preparation
- 3
Cook the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- 4
Make the Sauce
Add the crushed tomatoes to the skillet, followed by the fresh basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Pasta Cooking
- 5
Roll the Dough
After resting, roll out the pasta dough using a pasta machine or a rolling pin to your desired thickness (about 1/8 inch is ideal). Cut into your preferred shape.
- 6
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 2-4 minutes or until al dente. Fresh pasta cooks much quicker than dried pasta, so watch closely.
Final Assembly
- 7
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Drain the pasta and add it directly to the sauce in the skillet. Toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
- 8
Serve
Plate the pasta and garnish with fresh basil leaves and shaved Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
