Pasta Ingredients
Method
Pasta Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl or on a clean surface, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and crack the eggs into the well. Add the olive oil. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a shaggy dough forms.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- 3
Roll Out the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Using a pasta machine or a rolling pin, roll each piece out to your desired thickness.

Cut the Pasta
Cut the rolled-out dough into your desired shape (fettuccine, tagliatelle, etc.). Dust the cut pasta with a little flour to prevent it from sticking.
- 5
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh pasta and cook for 2-4 minutes, depending on thickness. Drain and serve with your favorite sauce.
