Instructions
Prepare the dough
On a clean surface, mound the flour and make a well in the center. Add the eggs, salt, and olive oil into the well.
Pro tip: Ensure the surface is dry and clean to prevent the dough from sticking.
Mix the ingredients
Using a fork, gently whisk the eggs, gradually incorporating the flour until a dough forms.
Pro tip: Use a bench scraper if the dough is sticky.
Knead the dough
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
Pro tip: Resting the dough allows gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
Roll out the dough
After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a thin sheet using a pasta roller or rolling pin.
Pro tip: Dust with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Cut the sheets
Cut the rolled-out dough into 15x30 cm (6x12 inches) sheets. Adjust size based on your baking dish.
Pro tip: Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for clean cuts.
Cook the sheets
Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook each sheet for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath.
Pro tip: This pre-cooking helps to set the pasta and prevent overcooking when baked.
