1
Prepare the Dough
On a clean surface, mound the all-purpose flour and create a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well and add salt and olive oil.
2
Mix the Ingredients
Using a fork, gently beat the eggs and gradually incorporate the flour from the edges of the well until a rough dough forms.
3
Knead the Dough
Bring the dough together with your hands and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
4
Roll out the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Using a pasta machine or rolling pin, roll each piece to your desired thickness.
5
Cut the Pasta
Cut the rolled-out dough into your desired shape (fettuccine, tagliatelle, etc.) using a sharp knife or pasta cutter.
6
Cook the Pasta
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 2-4 minutes until al dente, then drain and serve with your favorite sauce.
