- Remove pasta to a floured surface and knead into a ball, dough should be just barely sticky to the touch. Place into a plastic bag and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide dough into 4 equal portions, on floured surface begin working past through rollers with on largest setting. Drop the setting smaller and continue to roll out sheet until desired thickness is achieved. I keep mine fairly thick. Continue with remaining pasta.
- Change handle on pasta machine to cutting slot and feed sheets of past through cutters, or hand cut into desired widths or lengths.
- You can drape pasta to dry over a dowel fitted between two chairs or simply separated strands and coat with flour and leave on a pan.
