I tried to make this recipe last night. I followed the directions as well as some recommendations. I doubled the recipe, used half bread flour and half all purpose,and added some olive oil. I have never had fresh pasta, that I can recall so I'm not sure what this should taste like, DBF is Italian and comes from a family that knows pasta. He said it was off somehow. After I mixed it in my Kitchen Aid mixer, I kneaded it and let it rest for about and hour. It was a little tedious to roll out with a rolling pin, but I think I got it fairly thin. I let the noodles dry for a few minutes before I cooked them. They ended up coming out rather mushy and slimy. I think I may have over cooked them, I really don't know. The sauce I made with it was really good, but the pasta wasn't what I expected. I don't know what I did wrong. Perhaps I will make this again using semolina flour and only boil the pasta for a minute or 2 not the 3 or 4 I did. This was a good recipe to start with and would recommend it to someone who is just starting to make pasta, it seems like it is a good jumping off point.
