Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons water, or as needed
1 cup edible flower petals, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
¼ cup butter, melted
1 lemon, zested and juiced
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Beat flour, eggs, oil, and salt together in a bowl. Add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until a smooth and very thick dough forms.
Turn dough out onto a work surface and knead until very smooth, about 10 minutes. Cover; let dough rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
Divide dough into 8 balls. Roll each into a thin sheet about 18 inches long using a pasta roller or a rolling pin. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon flower petals, 1/4 tablespoon thyme, and 1/4 tablespoon dill on the lengthwise half of each sheet. Fold sheet in half over petals and herbs, then roll again into a thin sheet. Cut into long, 1-inch wide strips using a pizza cutter.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and boil until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
Toss with Parmesan cheese, butter, lemon zest, and juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook's Note:

You can use any edible flower petals, such as violas, dianthus, pansies, or fennel flowers.
