Making the Pasta
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt, creating a mound. Create a well in the center and crack in 3 large eggs along with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Using a fork, gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer the shaggy dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Wrap the kneaded dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- After resting, divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll the dough thinly, aiming for about 1/16 inch thick.
- Choose your pasta shape—fettuccine, tagliatelle, or lasagna sheets and cut accordingly.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the fresh pasta for 2-4 minutes until al dente.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté 3 minced garlic cloves until fragrant. Add 2 cups of diced tomatoes. Let this simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with your sauce, tossing gently to combine. Finish with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes
Use a mix of all-purpose and semolina flour for better texture. Allow the dough to rest for easier rolling.
