How to Make Pasta Without a Machine

  1. Place flour and salt on a working surface. Make a well in the middle. Crack eggs and pour oil in the well.
  2. Slowly bring the flour inside the well and mix with your fingers or a fork. Form in a dough and knead for 5 minutes.
  3. Cover with a plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into 4 parts. Roll each dough flat with a rolling pin.
  5. Fold the dough then cut pasta with a very sharp knife. The width depends on how you like yours. I like to cut about 1/4 inch.
  6. Add water and salt to a pot. Boil the pasta for 8 minutes.
