Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add eggs and olive oil. Whisk the eggs and incorporate the flour until a rough dough forms. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Divide the rested dough into quarters and roll each piece into thin sheets, dusting with flour to prevent sticking.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes. Stir in basil leaves and season with salt and pepper.
- Boil salted water and add the fresh pasta. Cook for 2-4 minutes until it floats to the top. Drain, reserving some pasta water.
- Combine the drained pasta with the sauce in the skillet, tossing gently. Adjust sauce consistency with reserved pasta water if necessary. Cook for an additional minute.
- Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan and fresh basil leaves.

Notes
Ensure your dough is smooth and elastic. Allowing the gluten to relax by resting is crucial for easier rolling.
