Mix flour and salt in a mound on a clean surface.

Using a fork, beat the eggs gently, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges.

Knead the dough by hand until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.

6

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

7

Divide the dough into smaller portions for easier rolling.

8

Roll out each portion using a pasta machine or rolling pin until thin.

9

Cut the rolled dough into desired shapes (fettuccine, tagliatelle, etc.).

10

Dust the cut pasta with semolina flour to prevent sticking.
