Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour or 00 flour
- 3 extra-large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- On a clean surface, place the flour and form a well in the center.
- Add the eggs, olive oil, and salt into the well.
- Use a fork to begin mixing the ingredients, slowly incorporating the flour.
- Once the dough starts to form, knead it by hand for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- If the dough is sticky, add a light pinch of flour.
- Form it into a ball, place it in a lightly floured bowl, cover with a lid, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- After resting, divide the dough into four portions.
- Roll out one portion into a rectangle, checking for sticking, and roll to a thin thickness.
- Fold the rolled dough in layers and cut it to your desired shape, such as wider strips or thinner slices.
- To cook, boil the fresh pasta in a large pot of salted water until they float.
- Serve with olive oil, cheese, or vegetables as desired.
Notes
For best results, let the dough rest after kneading to improve its texture. Fresh pasta can be paired with various sauces and toppings.
