Cut into 4 pieces and take one and start to flatten with your palm and fingers. Roll with pin or start in Pasta machine on widest setting. Roll out to desired thickness and cut.

 

TO COOK FRESH PASTA:

Bring to a boil approximately 3 Quarts of water. When water is boiling add salt (I prefer kosher) to water and add pasta. Fresh pasta only takes 2 to 3 minutes to cook. Drain and add to your sauce, mix until coated and serve. ENJOY

TOMATO PASTA: add 2 TBSP or more to the egg mixture, mix well add to flour well.

 

SPINACH PASTA: using either fresh or frozen spinach, cook, squeeze dry and puree in food processor, add ¼ cup to egg mixture.

 

NOTE: You can flavor your pasta with pretty much anything you like, to compliment the sauce or protein you are matching it with. ENJOY
