Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Serve cold with bruschetta or warm atop cooked homemade pasta (below).

Fill a pot with well salted water and bring to a boil on the stovetop.

Measure and mix all ingredients into the mixing bowl you are using. If pasta appears slightly dry, add water, one tablespoon at a time. Too wet/sticky, add flour. Knead for about 1 minute, until evenly combined.

Transfer kneaded dough ball onto a lightly-floured work surface. Roll out as thin as possible and cut into desired shapes (use knife, pizza cutter, cookie cutters, or cup to cut out shapes). Dough scraps can be re-formed into a ball, re-rolled, and re-cut once or twice. Remember each re-roll will toughen up the gluten.

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, cook pasta, 3-5 min, depending on size. While the pot of water comes to a boil, warm sauce in a small pot. Once pasta is done and the sauce is warm, serve.
