Directions:

1. Place the flour on a flat surface and shape it into a mound.

2. Make a 'well' (divot) in the center and add the eggs, salt, olive oil, 2 tablespoons water, and the ground pepper.

3. Mix with a wooden spoon by combining the eggs and the flour with a circular motion, taking some flour from the sides of the well. Traditionally this step is done with the finger tips.

4. Add the remaining water, if needed, and mix until the dough comes together.

5. Transfer the dough onto a clean, floured surface and knead it for 10 minutes.

6. Work the dough into a ball, cover it with a bowl, and let it rest for 15 minutes.

7. Divide the dough into quarters and with a rolling pin, roll each quarter to about 6 inches long and slice into 1-inch pieces. Use more flour, if needed, to prevent the dough from sticking to your board.

8. This recipe makes 1 pound of fresh pasta.
