• Add the flour, olive oil, and the slightly beaten eggs to a food processer fitted with the dough blade. Process until the dough comes together and clears the sides of the bowl, about 20 seconds.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead the dough by hand for about 1 minute until it comes together. It will not be perfectly smooth but should hold together. cut into 4 to 6 pieces and cover with a damp cloth.
• Roll the dough one piece at a time. Flatten one piece slightly. Set your pasta machine to the widest setting. Feed the piece of dough through the rollers. Fold it into thirds, like a letter, rotate 90 degrees and feed it through the rollers again. Repeat this process 4 to 5 times, dusting with flour if the dough becomes too sticky.
• After kneading with the machine, start to thin the dough. Adjust the machine to the next narrower setting and feed the dough through. Fold in thirds, repeat a second time. Repeat for the third setting. For each further setting run through 1 time until you get your desired thickness.

Cut and Shape

• Attach the pasta cutter to the machine. Cut the sheet in half and feed the thin dough through the cutter to create your preferred style of pasta (e.g., fettuccine or spaghetti). Or cut by hand and shape as desired.
• Dust the cut pasta lightly with flour and set aside on a floured surface with a cloth over top or hang it on a pasta drying rack. Repeat with the remaining sections.

Cook the Pasta

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 2-3 minutes until al dente. Drain and serve with your favorite sauce.
