Steps
Follow these simple steps and you will get fettuccine that will conquer even the most refined palates
PREPARE THE DOUGH: Pour the flour into a large bowl or onto a pastry board, make a well in the center, and pour in the egg whites with the oil and salt. Start mixing with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour until you form a nice dough.
Work the dough: Start working the dough, but you have to be patient because at first it will seem slippery, but then it will become nice, soft and compact.
Rest is essential: Let the dough rest for at least 15/20 minutes, but do not skip this step because it is essential to obtain a soft and workable dough. This way, the pasta won’t shrink back when you roll it out.
Shape the fettuccine: With the help of a rolling pin, roll out the dough, roll it up on itself, and cut the fettuccine. If you want, you can use a pasta machine for this step. At this point, the fettuccine is ready to be enjoyed as you like.
