Preparation Method Steps:
- Make a mound with the flour on a large work surface. Create a well in the center and crack the eggs into it.
- Using a fork, gradually whisk the eggs while incorporating the flour from the sides.
- Once a dough starts forming, switch to kneading with your hands. Knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Dust a surface with flour and divide the dough into quarters. Roll out each quarter into a thin, even sheet.
- Using your desired pasta cutter or a knife, cut the pasta sheets into your preferred shapes (e.g., tagliatelle, fettuccine, ravioli).
