Flour the counter and press flat to put in the pasta machine on the widest setting, do this 2 or 3 times then after turn the dial to the next setting getting thinner as your turn the dial my machine starts at 1 and I go to 4 on the dial.
3. Once you have a thin sheet of pasta, cut or shape the pasta in whatever form you desire.

Recipe Notes

This recipe makes quite a bit of pasta. I haven't tried freezing the dough, but I imagine it would freeze pretty well.
