INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups all-purpose flour, more for kneading
• 1/2 cup warm water, more if needed
• 2 tbsp oil, preferably olive
• 1 tsp salt for cooking water

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Dough Prep:
   – In a large bowl, mix flour, water, and oil with hands to form a rough dough.
   – Knead in the bowl until dough is smooth and not sticky, about 2 mins. Add water or flour as needed, 1/2 tsp or 1 tsp at a time, respectively.
   – Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap; rest at room temp for at least 15 mins.
2. Cooking Pasta:
   – Bring a medium pot of water to simmer, add 1 tsp salt.
   – Oil a pair of kitchen shears, snip 1/2†pieces of dough into water, ensuring they don’t stick. Dust with flour if needed.
   – Cook until most pasta floats, 5-6 mins. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Serve immediately for best taste.
3. Make-Ahead:
   – Dough can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap and chill. Use at room temp
