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 and crack the eggs into the well. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs using a fork until combined. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Roll Out the Pasta
After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece into thin sheets using a pasta machine or a rolling pin. Cut the sheets into your desired pasta shape (tagliatelle, fettuccine, etc.). Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
Sauce Preparation
- 3
Cook the Sauce
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, then add the crushed tomatoes. Mix well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

Season the Sauce
Add the chopped basil, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir to combine and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Cooking the Pasta
- 5
Boil the Pasta
In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the fresh pasta and cook for about 2-4 minutes, or until al dente. Fresh pasta cooks much quicker than dried pasta.
- 6
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Drain the pasta and add it directly to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to combine and cook for another minute to allow the pasta to absorb some of the sauce.
- 7
Serve
Serve the pasta hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and additional fresh basil if desired.
