Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the flour on a clean work surface or in a large bowl and form a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well and add the salt.
- Use a fork to beat the eggs gently, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges until a rough dough forms.
- Bring the dough together with your hands, then knead it on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Wrap the kneaded dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Divide the dough into four pieces and keep the pieces you are not using covered.
- Roll out one piece with a rolling pin or pasta machine until you reach your desired thickness.
- Cut the pasta into your desired shape; roll for fettuccine or fill for ravioli.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the fresh pasta and cook for 2-5 minutes.
Notes
Using semolina flour can improve texture. Make sure to rest the dough for easier rolling.
