1
Make the Dough
On a clean surface, mound the flour and create a well in the center. Add the eggs, salt, and olive oil into the well. Using a fork, whisk the eggs gently, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges of the well until a shaggy dough forms.
2
Knead the Dough
Bring the dough together with your hands and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
3
Roll Out the Pasta
After resting, divide the dough into quarters. Roll out each piece with a pasta machine or a rolling pin until thin. Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
4
Cut the Pasta
Cut the rolled-out dough into your desired shape (e.g., fettuccine, tagliatelle, or lasagna sheets). Dust with flour to keep the pieces separate.
5
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh pasta and cook for 2-4 minutes until al dente. Drain and serve with your favorite sauce.
