Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Place the flour in a pile on a sturdy surface. Using your hands, make a well in the middle of the flour, then crack the eggs into the well and add the olive oil and salt.
  • With a fork, lightly whisk the eggs while gradually adding flour from the wall of the well into the center. When the mixture has a sticky consistency, begin to knead with your hands. Knead the dough for 15 minutes, adding a sprinkle of flour to the work surface as needed, to ensure the dough doesn't stick. Do not add a lot of flour at a time or your dough will be too tough.
  • Once the dough is smooth, tightly wrap it in plastic wrap and leave it to rest for 15 minutes.
  • Cut the dough into three even pieces. Then, take one piece and form it into a ball. Sprinkle some flour on your work surface and using a rolling pin, roll the dough as thin as possible in an oval shape and dust with a pinch of flour. Aim for 3mm in thickness.
  • Roll up the dough into a log. Cut down into 1.5 cm or 1 finger length. 
  • Repeat the process for the other two balls of dough. 
  • In a medium/large stockpot, bring salted water to a boil. Add in pasta and cook for 3 minutes, until cooked al dente. Serve with your preferred pasta sauce, or olive oil, parmesan, and basil.
