Instructions

1

Make the Dough

Mound the flour on a clean work surface and make a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well, add the olive oil and salt, and beat lightly with a fork. Gradually incorporate the flour from the inner walls of the well until a shaggy dough forms, then knead by hand for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

2

Rest and Roll

Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. After resting, divide into 4 portions and roll each one out as thin as possible on a lightly floured surface, or use a pasta machine, to about 1mm thickness.

3

Cut and Cook

Fold the rolled sheets loosely and cut into fettuccine or tagliatelle strips. Shake out the strands. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook the fresh pasta for 2 to 3 minutes only until al dente. Drain and serve immediately with your favorite sauce.

Substitutions

all-purpose flour00 flour for a finer and silkier pasta texture
whole eggs4 egg yolks only for a richer and more golden pasta dough

Common mistakes

Not kneading the dough long enough, which results in pasta that tears when rolled and has a tough chewy texture
Skipping the resting period, which means the gluten has not relaxed and the dough will spring back and resist rolling
