As promised, here are the steps to make homemade pasta dough. Buona fortuna!
Place 2 cups of dough on a work surface and make a well in the center.
Make sure the well is large enough to hold the eggs, olive oil, water and salt.
Start incorporating a little flour at a time with a fork.
Continue to mix in a little more flour at a time.
Soon the liquid will be incorporated enough to start folding in by hand.
Start folding in the dough with your hands. This is the point where you can tell if you need to add more water or flour. In this case, I needed 1 more Tablespoon of water since the dough was a bit too dry. And, that's OK, you can always add in small increments.
Sprinkle a little flour onto your work surface and begin kneading. Keep kneading for 8 minutes. This is about the correct amount of time for the dough to feel smooth and pliable.
After 8 minutes of kneading, your dough should look like this. It's smooth and just a bit tacky to the touch. Smooth it into a ball and wrap it in plastic. Let it rest for 1 hour.
