Ingredients
  • • All Purpose Flour* (maida), 200 grams
  • • Olive oil, 2 tablespoons
  • • Eggs, 2 (fresh)
  • • Salt, to taste
  • *Ideally Italian 00 flour is used to make pastas but all purpose works fine too. It won't make the silkiest pastas though, because it isn't as fine as 00 flour.
  • **This recipe makes enough for 2. Read above ratios if you want to alter the recipe.
Method
  1. Prepare your dough by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl. Get it all together using your hands and toss it on a floured surface to knead. If you feel the dough is not coming together, add a little water.

  4. Now knead this dough for roughly 5 minutes or until the dough feels soft and looks smooth. Cover it in cling film or plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes-1hour.

  6. Once the dough has rested, take it out and flatten it slightly. Sprinkle flour on your kitchen shelf so that the pasta dough won't stick when you roll it out. Simultaneously, boil water with some salt in it.

  8. Next roll out the dough as thin as you can and then cut off the sides to get an even rectangle using a pizza cutter. In all honesty, my dough in the picture isn't as thin as I would've liked. Go thinner.
