Sauce- Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat and sauté the garlic.

- Pulse flour and salt in a food processor until well combined.
- Make three small holes in the flour mixture and crack an egg into each well.
- Pulse the mixture until it starts to form pebbles, then drizzle in olive oil.
- Add water while pulsing until dough starts to come together.
- Remove dough from machine and knead a few times until smooth.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Cut the dough into fours, and roll each quarter through the pasta maker starting with the largest roller. Roll it through each number 2 to 3 times before making the number smaller (PICTURE at 3:45).
- Roll the sheet through the pasta cutter attachment to create fettuccini.
