Place the flour on a clean surface and create a well in the center.

Crack the eggs into the well and add the olive oil and salt.

Using a fork, gently beat the eggs and gradually incorporate the flour from the edges of the well.

Continue mixing until a shaggy dough forms, then knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5.
Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough into thin sheets using a rolling pin.

Cut the rolled-out dough into your desired pasta shapes, such as fettuccine or tagliatelle, using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
