Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Mix the semolina flour and salt in a large bowl or on a clean work surface, then make a well in the center.

2. Add the eggs, olive oil and water to the well and beat them together with a fork, gradually drawing in the flour from the sides until a shaggy dough forms.

3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding a little more water only if it is very dry and crumbly.

4. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

5. Cut the dough into 4 pieces, keeping the rest covered, and roll one piece through a pasta machine or with a rolling pin until thin, dusting lightly with semolina flour.

6. Cut the sheets into your desired shape, such as tagliatelle or fettuccine, and dust them with a little more semolina so they do not stick.

7. Bring a large pot of salted boiling water to a rolling boil, add the pasta and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until tender but still al dente, then drain.
