- 3
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
- 4
Rest the Dough
Wrap the kneaded dough in plastic wrap or cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
Rolling and Cutting
- 5
Divide the Dough
Once the dough has rested, divide it into 4 equal pieces to make it easier to roll out.
- 6
Roll the Dough
Using a rolling pin or a pasta machine, roll out one piece of dough at a time on a floured surface until it is thin (about 1/16 inch thick).
- 7
Cut the Pasta
Cut the rolled-out dough into your desired shape (fettuccine, tagliatelle, etc.) using a sharp knife or a pasta cutter. Dust the cut pasta with flour to prevent sticking.
