Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 pcs Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional)
Instructions
Place the flour on a clean surface or in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour to resemble the shape of a nest.
Crack the eggs into the well. Add the olive oil and salt.
Using a fork, beat the eggs gently while gradually incorporating the surrounding flour. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes slightly sticky.
Set the fork aside and use your hands to gather the dough into a ball. If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water, a little at a time, until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
After resting, divide the dough into smaller portions for easier handling. Roll out and shape the dough into your desired pasta type using a rolling pin or pasta machine.
Cook the fresh pasta in a pot of boiling salted water for 2-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pasta. Serve with your favorite sauce.
