Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine two cups of all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt. Create a well in the center, crack three large eggs into this well and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Mix gently with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead for about 5-7 minutes on a lightly floured surface until the dough is smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- After resting, divide the dough into four equal pieces. Dust your work surface with semolina flour. Roll the dough out to your desired thickness, about 1/16 inch.
- Cut the sheets into your preferred shape; fettuccine or tagliatelle work well. Dust with semolina to prevent sticking.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the freshly cut pasta and cook for 2-4 minutes until tender.
- Transfer pasta back to the pot, add your favorite sauce, and toss gently. Serve warm, garnished with Parmesan cheese or herbs.

Notes
For the best pasta texture, use a 2:1 flour-to-egg ratio and don’t skip the resting step.
