Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt, creating a small well in the center. Crack 3 large eggs into the well, adding a drizzle of olive oil. Using a fork, gently whisk the eggs, gradually incorporating the flour until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Once kneaded, wrap the pasta dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- After the dough has rested, divide it into four pieces for easier handling. Using a pasta machine or rolling pin, flatten one piece to about 1/16 inch thick, dusting with flour to prevent sticking. Repeat this process with all pieces, aiming for sheets that are slightly translucent.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and carefully add the freshly cut pasta. Cook for about 2-4 minutes, tasting for doneness; it should be al dente but tender.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, just until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. Next, pour in 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth and the juice of 1 fresh lemon. Stir in 2 tablespoons of capers and allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing gently to combine. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water for a silky texture. Cook together for an additional minute to warm through.

Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Don’t forget to rest the dough for better results.
