Instructions

Combine flour and salt, then form a well for the eggs and olive oil. Gradually incorporate with a fork or by hand to form a dough.
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, 3 eggs, 1 tbsp olive oil
Work the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth.
Press the dough ball into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap or a damp tea towel. Let it rest for a minimum of 10 minutes at room temperature for the gluten to relax.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a thin sheet on a lightly floured surface, then cut into ribbons.
Cook the noodles in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes until al dente or add them straight to your favorite soup or stew.

Notes

Past dough consistency: At first the dough looks too dry but it'll be smooth after you knead it for 5 minutes. If it still is too dry after that, add a teaspoon of cold water at a time until pliable.

Thickness: Ensure uniform thickness when rolling out the dough for even cooking.

Cooking time: Fresh pasta cooks much faster than store-bought, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.

Food processor: You can use a food processor to speed up the process. Simply add all ingredients into the bowl and pulse until you have a unified dough ball.
