Ingredients
Scale
For the Tagliatelle Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional Toppings & Sauce Ideas
- Olive oil, parmesan, or marinara sauce for serving
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
Make the Dough:
- Place the flour on a clean surface or in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, crack in the eggs, and sprinkle in the salt.
- Using a fork, gently whisk the eggs, gradually incorporating the flour until it forms a shaggy dough.
Knead Like You Mean It:
- Flour your surface lightly and knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Roll It Out:
- Cut the dough into two pieces. Roll each piece into a thin sheet (about 1-2 mm thick) using a rolling pin or pasta roller.
Slice the Tagliatelle:
- Roll the sheet into a loose log, then slice into strips about 1/4 inch wide. Unravel the strips and dust with a little flour to prevent sticking.
Cook to Perfection:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tagliatelle for 2-3 minutes or until tender but still slightly firm.
Serve and Savor:
- Toss with your favorite sauce, olive oil, or simply sprinkle with parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
