Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Clean a large surface and prepare a bench scraper, fork, and pasta machine.
- Heap the flour into a mound and press a shallow well in the center.
- Crack the eggs into the well, add olive oil, and sprinkle salt into the eggs.
- Use a fork to whisk the eggs and slowly pull flour from the inner walls of the well until the mixture is shaggy and begins to come together.
- Fold and gather the shaggy dough with your fingers until it forms a rough ball.
- Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Adjust moisture as needed.
- Shape into a ball, wrap tightly in plastic, and let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Unwrap, cut into 4 pieces, and flatten one piece while keeping the others covered.
Rolling and Cutting
- Pass the flattened piece through a pasta machine on the widest setting, folding and repeating a couple of times.
- Gradually reduce thickness settings until reaching desired sheet thinness.
- Lay finished sheets on a floured baking sheet and dust lightly with flour.
- Trim sheets and cut into ribbons or feed through the pasta machine cutter for shapes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add fresh pasta, and cook for 1-2 minutes until al dente. Drain and serve immediately.
