Ingredients

Units Scale

All-Purpose Pasta Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Create the Dough: On a clean surface or in a large bowl, make a mound with the flour and create a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well and add salt and olive oil if using. Using a fork, gently whisk the eggs, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Knead the Dough: Use your hands to bring the dough together and knead it for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Adjust with more flour or water as needed. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Roll and Shape: Divide the dough into pieces, roll them out to your desired thickness, and cut into your preferred shape. Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the Pasta: Boil salted water, add the pasta, and cook for 2–4 minutes until al dente. Drain and serve with your favorite sauce.

Notes

  • You can freeze uncooked pasta in floured nests for up to 2 months.
  • Semolina flour can be substituted for a firmer bite, or use a mix of all-purpose and 00 flour for a silkier texture.
