Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 units Large eggs
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Olive oil (optional)
Instructions
Place the flour on a clean kitchen surface and make a well in the center.
Crack the eggs into the well and add the salt and olive oil.
Using a fork or your fingertips, gently whisk the eggs, gradually incorporating flour starting from the inner rim of the well.
Continue mixing until the dough begins to come together. It will be shaggy and sticky initially.
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.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
After resting, divide the dough into four equal pieces and flatten each piece slightly to make it easier to roll.
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.
Cut the dough into your desired shapes, such as fettuccine or tagliatelle.
To cook, bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
Add the pasta and cook for about 3-5 minutes until al dente. Fresh pasta cooks much quicker than dried.
Drain the pasta and serve with your favorite sauce or toppings.
