This was my first time making pasta by hand, and I was surprised at how tasty it came out! I wouldn't necessarily say "easy" but it was simpler than I thought. I did the well-method as instructed but put it in a large mixing bowl. This was much easier and less messy than doing it on the counter. I don't have any fancy kitchen equipment so I did the kneading by hand and rolled the dough out myself. It takes patience and some effort to get the dough rolled thin enough. And in the end, I should have gone thinner because my noodles turned out thicker than expected. I had added some dried basil to the mix, and the end result was some pretty tasty pasta noodles all by itself! I think for the future I will look into a pasta roller, just to speed up the process a bit.
