fresh homemade pasta dough is easier to make than you think, and cooks quickly
In a stand mixer or food processor, mix together the flour and salt.
Break eggs together into a small bowl and stir to break the yolks. Add the eggs and oil to the flour.
Process until the dough comes together. Add a few drops of water if it seems too dry to come together. Knead for a couple minutes, then turn out on a lightly floured surface. Hand knead to make sure all four is incorporated.
Wrap up tightly in plastic or beeswax paper and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
When open up, it should look all yellow and show no dry spots. Cut into quarters to form pasta. Keep remaining pieces wrapped in a damp towel to prevent drying out as you work.
Cut into quarters, keeping pieces covered with a damp towel or wrapped up to prevent them from drying as you work with one quarter. Shape as desired.
To cook, place in simmering water. Fresh pasta cooks quickly - 1-3 minutes depending on the thickness. It floats when done.
The dough may be totally mixed by hand without the aid of a mixer or food processor - it just takes longer to totally incorporate the flour. Of course, Italian grandma's did it this way all their lives.
