Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 whole Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Water
Directions
Step 1
On a clean surface or in a large mixing bowl, create a mound with the flour. Use your hands or a spoon to make a deep well in the center.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into the center of the well. Add the olive oil and salt to the eggs.
Step 3
Using a fork, gently whisk the eggs, slowly incorporating small amounts of flour from the inner edge of the well. Continue this process until the mixture becomes too thick to mix with the fork.
Step 4
Use your hands to begin kneading the dough, gradually incorporating the remaining flour. If the dough feels too dry, add the teaspoon of water a little at a time until it comes together.
Step 5
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If it is too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour as needed.
Step 6
Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
Step 7
Once rested, the dough is ready to be rolled out and shaped into your desired pasta form. Follow your selected pasta recipe for cooking instructions.
