Season with salt and generous fresh ground pepper. Add the wine and let evaporate completely.

Chef tips:
Always use fresh eggs And at the room temperature. Knead the pasta until it gets the consistency of play dough. If it’s too dry, add a small amount of olive oil. If it’s too sticky, use more flour. Ideally, make the dough by hand. Be sure to have your sauce, and spices ready at the table before dropping your pasta into water.
