Making your own fresh pasta can be one of life's simple pleasures.

In a bowl, mix 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Add 4 egg yolks and drizzle 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over everything.

Knead the dough: Fold it toward you, then push it down and away with the heel of your palm. Add some water if dough feels dry and crumbly. Continue kneading until dough smoothens.
