Combine 2 cups of semolina flour and 1 teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 cup of water into the well.

Using a fork, mix the flour into the liquid until a dough begins to form.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

After resting, divide the dough into smaller portions for easier rolling.

Flatten one portion of dough slightly and dust with semolina flour to prevent sticking.

Roll the dough using a pasta machine or rolling pin to your desired thickness, dusting with semolina flour as needed.

Cut the rolled dough into desired shapes, such as fettuccine or lasagna sheets.

Dust cut pasta with semolina flour to prevent sticking and set aside.

Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the remaining dough portions.
