Step 1

Pour 80g flour onto a flat surface and use your hand to make a large hole in the middle, make sure it is large enough to contain the egg.

Step 2

Open the egg and pour it into the hole made in the flour and start mixing it, mix only the egg with the help of a fork.

Step 3

Once the egg is mixed, start adding the flour little by little and make sure it mixes well with the egg without leaving any lumps. Continue mixing and adding flour until you get a very thick consistency.

Step 4

At this point you will have a dense consistency, which will be able to resist the remaining flour. Cover the "dough" you have obtained so far with flour, pouring all the flour over the top.

Step 5

At this point, start pressing on the top, always with the help of a fork, and folding it on itself. Continue pressing and folding until you reach a firmer consistency that you can grip with your hands.

Step 6

Throughout the process, if there is a lack of flour and you notice that the dough becomes yellow and remains very sticky, slowly add more flour.

Step 7

When you have reached a solid dough, start kneading in order to achieve a homogeneous consistency throughout the dough. During this phase the dough may become sticky again, having not previously absorbed enough flour.

Step 8

Continue kneading until you reach a consistency that is dry, soft and smooth.

Step 9

At this point the dough is ready! wet it with olive oil, wrap it in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for half an hour.

Step 10

Once the dough has rested, you will be ready to roll it out!

Step 11

Pour a little flour onto a flat surface and around the dough.

Step 12

Start rolling out the dough, by hand or even better with a dough roller.

Step 13

From here it's up to you to make the type of pasta you prefer!!
