Turned out great- worked really well with my pasta machine, and I let the pasta sit for about an hour before working with it- had no problems.

I doubled the recipe as well, and it turned out great. I used the pasta machine to roll it out in a long thin sheet, then used round cutters to make ravioli! Delish!

This was soooo yummy. I ran the dough through the pasta roller, and it came out wonderful. I did have to add a little more liquid and a dash of oil to make it all stick together. The taste.....divine.

Don't bother with this recipe unless you have a pasta maker. I tried rolling this out with a rolling pin and could not get it thin enough. The noodles tasted ok but were too thick and chewy.

I have used this recipe every time I make fresh pasta - its always fantastic. I even subsitute 1/2 whole wheat flour sometimes, and it still turns out fantastic (though you have to add a bit more all purpose flour to reduce the stickiness of the dough). It rolls out beautifully both by hand and with a machine. I usually have to add a bit of extra water to get the dough to a smooth consistency, but its likely because I live in Alberta which is usually quite dry.

I just made this recipe for the first time. I am an experienced pasta maker, using various machines, rollers etc. This is by far the easiest to handle and has an excellent flavor. I used a kitchen-aid to mix the dough, but did the final kneading by hand. I doubled it the first time I used it. I added 1 tablespoon of olive oil in place of some of the water as well. After kneading, I covered it in plastic wrap and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Awesome performance in the rollers, and cutters and a better recipe than the Kitchen-Aid manual which I have always found to be too dry no matter what I do. This is awesome and now my go to recipe.

This was FUN!!! Very easy to make. Why on earth would I ever buy noodels from the store again! My 3 year old cranked the handel on our pasta machine while I fed it through. He had so much fun making them he ate a TON at dinner! I will make this all the time. I also crated a sauce out of veggies from our garden and this was the best spaghetti I have tasted in my entire life. NO JOKE! Yummmmmmmmmmyyy!!!!!!!

The first time I attempted this recipe I tripled it...bad choice! It was almost impossible to work with as it was way too dry. I couldn't get the dough nearly thin enough at all to make a decent noodle. It was the first time I had tried making my own pasta so I decided to give it another shot today. I tried just one batch, with the addition of 1 tbsp olive oil. I let the dough rest for about 45 minutes. I rolled it as thin as I could and let the sheet dry for about 15 minutes before cutting into strips. Boiled for about 5 minutes and it was turned out well, but still had a very difficult time getting thin enough noodles. A decent basic recipe, nothing spectacular but not bad.

This is a simple recipe to follow for all different types of pasta (doing triple the recipe, I made spaghetti, fettucine and lasagna noodles). I made a few changes for a better dough- since I used medium eggs, I added 1 egg for the triple recipe, along with some olive oil. I worked the dough until it was very smooth and somewhat soft (as my grandmother says "until it feels like a baby's bottom"), then let it sit for an hour for the gluten to break down. After rolling and cutting into pasta, I tossed it in a bit of flour and placed in a tea towel to dry overnight. I've noticed that this drying tends to make the best cooked pasta.

This didn't turn out great for me. It was good, but just not great. I know pasta can be tricky & I have tried it before without success. I must say this recipe did turn out much better than my previous attempt. I let the dough rest for about 30-45 mins , as advised by other reviewers, and I rolled it as thin as I could...but the noodles still came out very big/puffy/chewy. My boyfriend thinks it was really good and says the reason it came out this way is because I rolled it by hand. Neither of my kids would eat it though. I'm giving it 3 stars, but my b/f thinks it deserves 4....I'll try it again, maybe making another shape... then I'll report back!!

My first attempt at homemade pasta and it was so easy! I added about 1/2 Tbl olive oil as it seemed to dry without it. I used the kitchenaide dough attachment to mix it. Then let it sit for 45 minutes. I had wrapped it in wax paper and it stuck to the paper! Scraped it off and rolled it out on the floured kitchen table. After that I realized I should have rolled it on a cutting board, so I picked it up and moved it. Once on the cutting board, I used a pizza cutter to make long thin slices. Pizza cutter worked very well - i had various sizes due to not caring about consistency. (My husband said he liked the thinner ones better.) Then I laid them all out on a floured dinner plate and covered it with wax paper until it was time to cook (2 hours later). I should have kept the pieces more separated as some of them got stuck together. Next time I'll leave them on the cutting board but spread them out more and let them dry that way. It was easy to make with just a rolling pin. We're going to use this recipe as a base to make homemade ravioli next!

Great pasta recipe, easy to work with just remember to let it rest a bit first if you're rolling it out. I make pilmeni (russian ravioli) with it and it was great. Don't forget to flour your workspace as you go.

Made this tonight and loved it! We made it into ravioli, and it was a mess but delicious. I let the stand mixer do much of the initial heavy mixing work, and then kneaded it a bit more by hand and rolled out by hand (that's why they were a mess). We can't wait to have this again, but next time we'll try flat noodles. Great recipe!

My first time ever making homemade pasta! A great success...don't have a pasta crank, so used a small bread roller...cut the pasta into several pieces, rolled out, and cut into fettuccini sized pieces with a pizza cutter. Had to add an extra egg...but that could be because of the humidity, size of the eggs, or the fact that I tripled the recipe. So easy that I simply told my little sis how to make a few days later and she made a great batch! A permanant addition to my recipe collection!
