Basic Egg Pasta Recipe
- 3 1/2 cups Italian Tipo “00” flour, or more to taste
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks, or more as needed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- Pile flour onto a work surface and make a small well in the center; place eggs, egg yolks, olive oil, and salt into the well. Gently stir the egg mixture with a fork, gradually drawing in flour until dough comes together.
- Knead dough with hands until smooth and leathery, about 10 minutes.
- Wrap dough in plastic wrap; let rest until malleable, 1 to 2 hours. Remove plastic wrap.
- Cut dough into four pieces; roll out with a rolling pin. Run flattened pieces through a pasta roller to create desired noodle shape.
