Make the Dough:

On a flat surface, create a well in the flour.

Add the eggs to the well and gently combine them with the flour.

Drizzle in olive oil and add salt.

Knead until you have a smooth, elastic dough.

Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest (important for texture).

Shape the Pasta:

Slice and flatten the rested dough.

Roll it out into thin sheets (keep it well-floured to prevent sticking).

Cut into your desired shape (fettuccine, tagliatelle, etc.).

Cook the Pasta:

In a large pot of boiling salted water (with a drizzle of olive oil), cook the pasta until al dente.

Drain and toss with your favorite sauce.

Remember, a touch of olive oil in the boiling water prevents sticking. Buon appetito! 🇮🇹
