Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 units Large eggs
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Olive oil (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the flour on a clean kitchen surface and make a well in the center.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into the well and add the salt and olive oil.

Step 3

Using a fork or your fingertips, gently whisk the eggs, gradually incorporating flour starting from the inner rim of the well.

Step 4

Continue mixing until the dough begins to come together. It will be shaggy and sticky initially.

Step 5

Knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour.

Step 6

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

Step 7

After resting, divide the dough into four equal pieces and flatten each piece slightly to make it easier to roll.

Step 8

Using a pasta machine or a rolling pin, roll out the dough to your desired thickness. For most pasta shapes, start with a wider setting and gradually decrease the width to the thinnest.

Step 9

Cut the dough into your desired shapes, such as fettuccine or tagliatelle.

Step 10

To cook, bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil.

Step 11

Add the pasta and cook for about 3-5 minutes until al dente. Fresh pasta cooks much quicker than dried.

Step 12

Drain the pasta and serve with your favorite sauce or toppings.
