In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the eggs into the well.
Add the water and olive oil (if using) to the well.
Using a fork, gradually mix the eggs, water, and oil, incorporating a little flour at a time until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll out one piece at a time on a floured surface into a very thin sheet, about 1/16 inch thick.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the rolled dough into strips of your desired noodle width.
Dust the cut noodles lightly with flour to prevent sticking and set aside. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes or until tender but still slightly firm to the bite.
Drain and rinse the noodles briefly under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Serve immediately with your favorite sauce, add to soup, or use in a stir-fry.
