In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients together and then form a deep well in the center of the mixture. Crack the egg and add the olive oil and water at the center of the notch. Using a form, combine the wet and dry ingredients together until it gets mealy. Form it to a ball and place it back into the bowl, make sure you cover it with cling wrap. Let it sit for about an hour. After an hour, check the dough if it's sticky, knead more flour into it if you have to. The dough should be able to hold its shape well and can be sculpted like firm clay.

Use a hand-crank pasta maker and flatten the dough into a rectangle. Moderately thick pasta works the best with this kind of dough. Boil salted water and cook the pasta for about 5 minutes or until you get the texture that you want. Pour it into a colander and then rinse it with running cold water.
