Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Homemade Pasta
- Prepare the Dough: Make a mound with flour, create a well, add eggs, salt, and olive oil. Beat eggs gently, incorporating flour until shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Lightly flour hands and surface. Press dough down, fold over itself, and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Rest the Dough: Wrap in plastic or cover with a towel, letting it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Roll Out the Dough: Divide dough into four pieces, roll out to desired thickness, about 1/16 inch.
- Cut the Pasta: Cut into preferred shapes, such as tagliatelle. Place on a floured baking sheet.
- Cook the Pasta: Boil salted water, drop in pasta, and cook for about 2 to 4 minutes or until pasta floats.
- Serve and Enjoy: Drain, reserve some cooking water, toss with sauce, and garnish with fresh herbs or cheese.

Notes
For extra-soft pasta, use '00' flour. Properly knead for the best texture. Flour layers when storing to prevent sticking.
