Using a fork, gently whisk the eggs, gradually incorporating the surrounding flour from the edges of the well. Continue mixing until a thick, yellow paste forms.
⏱️ 3 min

Continue to mix with the fork, pulling in more flour until the mixture becomes clumpy and starts to form a rough mass.
⏱️ 2 min

Use a bench scraper to gather all the flour and egg mixture into a cohesive mass on the work surface.

Knead the dough by hand on the work surface until it becomes smooth, elastic, and forms a uniform ball. This will take approximately 8-10 minutes.

Lightly dust the dough ball with flour.

Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a disc. Continue rolling it out, flipping and dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking, until it forms a large, thin sheet. The sheet should be very thin, almost translucent.

Lightly dust the thin pasta sheet with flour.

Fold the pasta sheet lengthwise from both sides towards the center, then fold again to create a compact, layered rectangular strip.

Using a large knife, cut the folded pasta rectangle crosswise into strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide, to create individual pasta strands.
⏱️ 2 min - 12
Gently separate the cut pasta strands. The fresh pasta is now ready to be cooked or dried. To cook, boil in salted water for 2-4 minutes until al dente.
