Eggless Pasta Recipe

Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix them together.
Add Wet Ingredients:
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the olive oil into the well.
Gradually Add Water:
- Start adding water a little at a time, mixing the wet and dry ingredients with a fork or your hands. Continue adding water and mixing until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the Dough:
- Once the dough is formed, transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a bit more flour as needed.
Rest the Dough:
- Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This resting period helps relax the gluten and makes the dough easier to roll out.
Roll Out the Pasta:
- After the resting period, unwrap the dough and cut it into smaller pieces to make it easier to work with. Roll each piece into a thin sheet using a rolling pin. You can also use a pasta machine to roll the dough into your desired thickness.
Cut the Pasta:
- Once you've rolled out the pasta to your desired thickness, cut it into the desired shape using a knife, pasta cutter, or cookie cutters. You can make fettuccine, tagliatelle, or any other shape you prefer.
Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh pasta and cook for 2-3 minutes or until it's tender but still slightly firm (al dente). Fresh pasta cooks much faster than dried pasta.
Serve:
- Drain the pasta and serve it with your favorite sauce, such as marinara, pesto, or Alfredo.
