1
Make the Dough
On a clean surface, make a mound with the flour and create a well in the center. Add the eggs, salt, and olive oil into the well.
2
Combine Ingredients
Using a fork, beat the eggs gently and gradually incorporate the flour from the edges of the well. Continue until the mixture is too stiff to mix with a fork.
3
Knead the Dough
Knead the dough by hand for about 8-10 minutes until it is 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. Roll out each piece using a pasta machine or a rolling pin to your desired thickness.
5
Cut the Pasta
Cut the rolled-out dough into your preferred shape (tagliatelle, fettuccine, etc.). Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
6
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.
