Pasta Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center, add the eggs and olive oil. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece into a thin sheet using a rolling pin or pasta machine.

    Fill the Pasta

    Cut the dough into squares or circles. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each piece. Fold over and seal the edges, ensuring no air is trapped inside.

    In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes, basil, salt, and sugar. Simmer for 15 minutes.
