Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Dough: Set a clean workspace and mound 2 cups of all-purpose flour on the counter. Create a well in the center, crack 3 large eggs into the well, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Using a fork, incorporate the flour until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: Divide the pasta dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into thin sheets, aiming for a thickness of about 1/16 inch.
  4. Cut the Pasta: Fold each sheet into thirds and slice into your desired shape. Toss cut strips lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of water, add salt, then carefully add the freshly cut pasta and cook for 2-4 minutes.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Drain the pasta, drizzle with olive oil, add herbs and Parmesan cheese, serve immediately.
