Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 to 2 tablespoons water, if needed

Instructions

1. Place the flour and salt on a clean work surface or in a large bowl, then make a well in the center.
2. Add the eggs and olive oil to the well. Using a fork, gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes, adding a little water only if needed, until smooth and elastic.
4. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
5. Roll the dough out thinly with a rolling pin or pasta machine, then dust lightly with flour.
6. Fold the sheet loosely and cut into thin noodle strips.
7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles for 2 to 4 minutes, until tender but still firm.
8. Drain well and serve immediately with butter, olive oil, tomato sauce, or your preferred topping.
