Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

On a clean countertop or in a large mixing bowl, pile the all-purpose flour into a mound, and create 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 fingers, slowly whisk the eggs while gradually incorporating the flour from the edges of the well. Keep going until a rough dough forms.

Step 4

Add the water, a little at a time, if the dough feels too dry, and knead it together. Gather the dough into a ball.

Step 5

Knead the dough thoroughly for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 6

Divide the dough into two pieces. Roll each piece out on a floured surface as thin as possible (or to your desired thickness).

Step 7

Use a sharp knife or a pasta cutter to slice the dough into your preferred noodle width. Dust the noodles with a little flour to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes (or until they are tender and cooked through).

Step 9

Drain the noodles and serve immediately with your favorite sauce or toppings.
