Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Extra flour, for dusting
Instructions
- 1. Mound flour on a clean work surface and make a well in the center.
- 2. Add eggs, olive oil, and salt into the well.
- 3. Using a fork, gradually incorporate flour into the eggs.
- 4. Once a shaggy dough forms, knead by hand for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 5. Wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- 6. Cut dough into portions and roll thin using a pasta machine or rolling pin.
- 7. Dust lightly with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
