• Place the flour on a clean work surface or in a bowl. Add the salt and mix lightly.
• Make a well in the centre and add the eggs and olive oil. Begin mixing, drawing the flour into the eggs until a dough forms.
• Bring together into a firm dough. It should feel like stiff Play-Doh — not sticky, but not crumbly.
• If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of water. If too sticky, dust lightly with rice flour.
• Wrap and leave to rest for 20–30 minutes. This step is essential.
• Roll the dough using a pasta machine or rolling pin, dusting lightly with rice flour as needed. Work gradually through thinner settings.
• Cut into desired shapes.

Cooking

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil.
• Cook pasta for 2–3 minutes, then remove. Do not overcook.
