Mix 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a mound on a clean surface.

Create a well in the center of the flour mound.

Crack 3 eggs into the well and add 1 tablespoon olive oil.

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

Knead the dough by hand until smooth, about 10 minutes.

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

Roll out the dough using a rolling pin until desired thickness is reached.

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

For colored pasta, mix in 1/4 cup beet juice or 1/4 cup spinach juice during the kneading process.
