4

Mix the eggs, olive oil, and water together until well blended.

5

Gradually pull flour from the outside of the well into the egg mixture, a little at a time.

7

Knead the dough for about 1 minute until it is not smooth but combined.

8

Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes to hydrate the flour.

9

Check the dough; it should be slightly sticky. If too dry, add a tablespoon of water.

10

Knead the dough for 6 to 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

11

Shape the dough into a ball and cover it, letting it rest for 1 to 2 hours.

12

After resting, roll out the dough using a pasta attachment or a rolling pin.

13

Cut the rolled dough into desired shapes, such as fettuccine or filled pasta like ravioli.
