• Combine the flour and salt.
• In a small bowl, mix the wet ingredients with a fork, eggs, water, and olive oil.
• Add the wet ingredients to the flour and mix everything together with a fork until the mixture starts to clump together.
• Then turnout on a lightly floured surface. Knead the pasta for 2-3 minutes.
• We are looking for a smooth, satiny consistency, which will begin to develop the more you knead.
• Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap and allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes. (This resting phase is giving the dough time to relax. Otherwise, it will be difficult to roll out thin enough as the dough will just not cooperate).
• After the resting period, divide the dough into four portions.
• There are two options for rolling the dough into thin strips and cutting them apart.

Pasta Machine Instructions

• Working with 1 portion of dough at a time. (Keep the other portions wrapped in the plastic wrap until you are ready to use). Starting with the largest setting (5 or 6) run the dough through the machine once or twice.
• Working with 1 portion of dough at a time. (Keep the other portions wrapped in the plastic wrap until you are ready to use). Starting with the largest setting (5 or 6) run the flattened disc dough through the machine once or twice.
• Fold the pasta into thirds decrease the thickness of the machine setting and pass it through the pasta machine again.
• Continue folding the pasta into thirds and decreasing the thickness 6 times. You will need to use one hand to support the dough as it becomes thinner with each pass through the machine.
• Next, cut the pasta strips.

Rolling Pin Instructions

• Roll each portion of the dough individually on a well-floured surface. Get the dough as thin as possible. Then cut thin strips of the dough. It is okay if they are not exactly straight and narrow. They may look rustic; however, they will still taste amazing.
• If you don’t have a pasta machine, you can use a rolling pin and knife (or pizza cutter) instead. Keep in mind you’ll want to roll it out as thin as humanly possible, as it will plump up considerably once you cook it.
• You could use a pasta cutter if you desire more consistency in your pasta.
• Once rolled and cut, this pasta can be used in a recipe right away. Just add to boiling salted water and cook for 3-4 minutes until al dente.
• If you prefer to dry the pasta for later, just drape the pasta over a drying rack as they will dry evenly through the pasta and dry faster too.
