Method

Pasta Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs 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 it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Rest the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

Pasta Cutting

  1. 5

    Roll out Dough

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

  2. 6

    Cut into Ribbons

    Using a sharp knife or pasta cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into wide strips to create ribbon pasta.

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 7

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil over high heat.

  2. 8

    Cook Pasta

    Add the ribbon pasta to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes until al dente. Fresh pasta cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it.

  3. 9

    Drain the Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.

Serving

  1. 10

    Prepare Sauce

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to soften.

  2. 11

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked ribbon pasta to the skillet and toss gently to combine with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 12

    Serve

    Plate the pasta and garnish with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
