Fresh pasta dough

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt

Step-by-step preparation

1. In a large bowl, sift the flour and salt.
2. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the eggs.
3. With a fork, beat the eggs in the center and gradually start working in the flour until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. If it’s too dry, add a little water; if it’s too wet, add a little flour.
5. Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before using.
6. Once rested, dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the dough to the thickness you want.
7. Use a pasta cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into your chosen shape (fettuccine, spaghetti, lasagna, etc.).
8. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for 2–3 minutes (or until al dente, depending on its thickness).
9. Drain the pasta and serve it with your favorite sauce.
