Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Create the Dough: Pile flour on a clean surface, make a well in the center. Add eggs, oil, and salt into the well.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: Use a fork to gradually incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients. Then, use your hands to form a dough.
  3. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth. Adjust with flour or water if needed.
  4. Rest the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Roll Out the Pasta: Divide the dough into 4 portions and roll each portion thinly using a pasta roller or rolling pin.
  6. Cut the Noodles: Lightly flour the pasta sheets to prevent sticking, then cut them into your desired noodle shape.
  7. Cook the Pasta: Boil the fresh pasta in salted water for 1–2 minutes. Fresh pasta cooks very quickly, so keep an eye on it!
