Place flour on a clean work surface and form a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well and add olive oil and salt if using.
Using a fork, whisk the eggs gently, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges until a rough dough forms.
Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into smaller portions. Roll each portion into thin sheets using a rolling pin or pasta machine. Dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
Gently roll the sheet and cut to form ribbons approximately 6–8 mm wide.
Unroll the tagliatelle and lay them lightly floured on a tray or hang them to dry for a few minutes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tagliatelle for 2–3 minutes until al dente.
Drain and toss immediately with your preferred sauce, such as butter and sage, tomato ragu, or cream with Parmesan. Serve warm.
