Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Create a well and add 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 portions and roll out each to about 1/16 inch thickness. Dust with flour as needed.
- Cut the rolled pasta into preferred shapes, tossing lightly with flour to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Bring salted water to a boil and cook the pasta for 2-4 minutes until it floats and is tender yet firm.
- Drain the pasta, reserving some water. Toss with your favorite sauce and serve warm.

Notes
High-quality flour is essential for best texture. Adjust flour and water for dough consistency. Letting the dough rest is crucial for easy rolling and cooking.
