Ingredients:
300 g all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1 tbsp olive oil (optional for richer dough)
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
On a clean surface, mound the flour and create a well in the center.
Crack the eggs into the well, sprinkle in salt, and drizzle with olive oil (if using).
Use a fork to gently whisk the eggs, gradually pulling in flour from the edges until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough by hand for 8–10 minutes until smooth, firm, and elastic.
Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Roll the dough using a pasta machine or rolling pin to your desired thickness, then cut into shapes like fettuccine, tagliatelle, or lasagna sheets.
