Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add eggs and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Rolling
- Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll one portion out to desired thickness, dusting with flour to prevent sticking.
Cutting
- Fold the rolled dough and slice into strips for fettuccine. Unfold and toss with flour.
Cooking
- Bring salted water to a boil. Cook pasta for 2-4 minutes until it floats and is al dente. Drain.
Sauce Preparation
- Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté garlic until fragrant, then add tomato sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and basil.
Serving
- Combine cooked pasta with sauce, adding reserved pasta water if needed for consistency. Serve with Parmesan cheese and black pepper.
