Fresh homemade pasta with a tender yet chewy texture and rich flavor, made from simple ingredients and perfect for pairing with any sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1–2 tbsp water, as needed

Instructions

  1. Place the flour on a clean work surface and make a well in the center.
  2. Crack the eggs into the well, add olive oil and salt, and beat gently with a fork while gradually incorporating the flour.
  3. When a rough dough forms, knead by hand for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. If the dough feels dry, add a little water; if sticky, dust with more flour.
  5. Wrap the dough and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  6. Roll the dough thin using a rolling pin or pasta machine and cut into desired shapes.
  7. Cook pasta in well-salted boiling water for 2–3 minutes until tender. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Resting the dough relaxes the gluten and makes rolling easier.
  • Add an extra egg yolk for richer pasta.
  • Semolina flour can be used for a firmer texture.
  • Fresh pasta cooks much faster than dried pasta.
