Step 1

In a bowl, mix Salt (1/2 tsp) and All-Purpose Flour (2 1/2 cups) . Make a little well in the centre. Beat the Eggs (3) and Olive Oil (1 tsp) together and slowly pour them into the well.

Step 2

Gradually start mixing the wet and dry ingredients with a wooden spoon making sure the well stays intact. Just keep stirring in a circular motion, incorporating more and more flour into the egg until you get a soft, shaggy ball of dough.

Step 3

Transfer the ball of dough to a floured surface and start kneading it. Pull it, stretch it, pound it. Knead for 15 minutes or until not sticky and shiny.

Step 4

Wrap it up in cling film and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 2 or 4 parts. Flatten the piece of dough into a rectangular disc and then run it through the pasta machine's largest setting, then repeat with a narrower setting until you have a thin sheet of dough.

Step 6

Run the sheet through the fettuccine extension and dust the pasta strands with flour to keep them separated.

Step 7

Use a cloth hanger to hang pasta. Boil the pasta in water and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Serve with a sauce. Enjoy!
