Ingredients
  

Pasta Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled, plus more for dusting
  • 3 large eggs room temperature preferred for better incorporation
  • 1/2 tsp salt enhances flavor and strengthens gluten
  • 1 tbsp olive oil adds richness to the dough

Equipment

  • Pasta machine
  • Rolling pin
  • Fork

Method
 

Pasta Instructions
  1. On a large, clean work surface, create a mound with the flour and form a deep well in the center.
  2. Crack the eggs directly into the well, sprinkle the salt, and drizzle in the olive oil.
  3. Using a fork, gently beat the eggs while slowly incorporating flour from the inner walls of the well.
  4. When the fork becomes ineffective, switch to your hands. Gather the mixture and knead until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Place the dough on a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Wrap the kneaded dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  7. After resting, divide the dough into four equal portions and cover them with a towel.
  8. Using a pasta machine or rolling pin, roll out each portion until about 1/16 inch thick.
  9. Cut the rolled sheets into your desired pasta shape and toss with flour to prevent sticking.
  10. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add fresh pasta, and cook for 2-3 minutes until al dente.
  11. Drain and toss with your favorite sauce, serve hot.
