You don’t have to have a noodle maker. I do it the way my mother did. Roll the dough until it is the thickness you want. Roll it like a jelly roll and slice off strips each of which you shake out into a noodle. Since we make enough to use immediately, we toss them on the dining room table covered with a clean tablecloth to dry.

I do have a pasta maker, but I still usually do it this way.

For my dough, I don’t add water – just flour and eggs.

I love making fresh pasta. I tend to use semolina flour. I treated myself to the pasta attachment for my kitchenaid mixer and I love it. It’s great to have both hands free to work with the pasta. I do not dry my pasta but freeze it. Thanks for sharing!

What a wonderful article!!

Ok now I am craving home-made noodles or pasta.

I felt like I was reading about my house when you shared the reasons for the newspaper under the drying rack. And Yes it would be me who knocked it over!! Every time!
