Ingredients
For the Pasta Dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour (or 00 flour for authentic texture)
3 large eggs
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
Extra flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Make the Dough:
On a clean surface, make a mound with the flour and create a well in the center.
Crack the eggs into the well, add olive oil and salt.
Using a fork, slowly whisk the eggs, gradually incorporating flour from the edges.
Once combined, knead the dough with your hands for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little flour if sticky.
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Roll & Cut the Pasta:
6. Divide dough into two pieces. Roll out each piece with a rolling pin or pasta machine until thin (about 1/16 inch).
7. Dust the dough lightly with flour, then fold it loosely like an accordion.
8. Slice into ¾-1 inch wide ribbons, then unfold into long pappardelle strips.
Cook the Pasta:
9. Bring salted water to a boil. Cook pasta for 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain and toss with your favorite sauce.
Serve:
10. Serve with marinara, pesto, or a creamy mushroom sauce.
