Measure out flour and salt, mix together.
Make a well in the center of the flour either on the counter or in a standing mixer.
Crack the eggs in the well (center) of the flour. Add olive oil.
Using a fork, or using the standing mixer on low, slowly whisk the eggs, adding flour a little bit at a time, Keep mixing until the eggs and flour come together. Keep kneading until you have a sticky but well-formed ball.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least an hour.
Divide the dough ball into four pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough out onto a flour covered space into an oval shape, thin enough to send through the pasta machine. Note: If you don't have a pasta machine, you can roll the dough out and slice it with a sharp knife or pizza cutter in a pinch.
If you are using a pasta machine like mine, I typically run each piece of dough through the sheet tool on the machine twice, until the dough is as thin as I'd like it to be, then I run it through the spaghetti tool or fettuccine tool, depending on the kind of pasta I am making. Be sure the dough is well-floured!
Now it's time to let the dough dry. I recommend buying a pasta drying rack for this step. Allow the pasta to dry for 45 minutes or so. You can dry it longer if you are not using the pasta immediately.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta for 2-4 minutes until al dente.
Top with your favorite pasta sauce and serve.
