Directions

  1. 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.

  2. Knead dough with hands until smooth and leathery, about 10 minutes.

  3. Wrap dough in plastic wrap, let rest until malleable, 1 to 2 hours. Remove plastic wrap.

  4. Cut dough into four pieces, roll out with a rolling pin. Run flattened pieces through a pasta roller to create desired noodle shape.
