I handroll all of my pasta and this was a decent recipe. I don't use the "well" method and this still worked fine. Egg pastas tend to be more sticky so you need a floured surface to roll on. Don't use the "well" and flour your surface. If you are impatient about rolling, don't roll it as thin and use a pizza cutter to cut it in squares. You'll have an orrichelli sized pasta great for cream or tomato sauces.

Following all the directions and steps is key.. We've done this 3 times know and it's turn out great everytime! Don't even try this without a machine! I have no idea how you could even get it thin enough..

This was my first attempt at homemade pasta and it was rough! I tried everything the other raters suggested but to no avail. It was dry and flaky, so I persisted like someone said and tried to spend more time with the dough. It didn't work, so I tried the food processor with the dough attachment...a little bit of olive oil. A little better...but it was still way way too dry. I can't imagine how this recipe every has a moist dough with all that flour. I haven't given up. But guess I need to read more about it.

The secret to good pasta is Italian "00" flour. (I had to order it online but grocery stores might sell it in larger cities.) Taste and texture is completely different with the right flour. This recipe also needs at least a tsp of salt and a tsp of olive oil. The directions doesn't specify time, but it must be kneaded for at least 10-15 minutes to get a good texture. Squeezing the dough like a stress ball can help to loosen it up when it gets too stiff to knead "properly." I use a pasta machine to roll out the dough (wouldn't bother making it without it) and I only cook the spaghetti for 30 seconds so that it's nice and chewy.

This was a very simple recipe. I tried to make one serving only, using 1 egg and 1 cup of flour. It was too dry so I added one more egg and 1 Tbsp of water. That was perfect. It actually made enough fettuccine width noodles for two people. This was my first time making fresh pasta. I rolled it out as thin as I could and used a pizza cutter to cut long strips and this worked just fine. I cooked it for 7 minutes.

Easier way to do it is to combine 1 part egg 3 parts flour to a food processor and blend till it kneads into a ball. add more flour if it's wet. set aside the ball. repeat till you get as many balls as you desire. put it into the fridge or let it sit for 30 mins (or more). following which you use a pasta machine and roll out the noodle. i don't see myself kneading and using a rolling pin!

Today was the very first time I have ever made homemade noodles, and my 11yo son and I made this recipe with no problems! We followed the advice of one reviewer who suggested to use 4C of flour with the 6 eggs, and that was perfect. I can't imagine using 6C flour. We used our new Marcato Atlas pasta roller/cutter and made flat fettucine noodles for use in turkey noodle soup. The resting period really made a difference in the dough. It was smooth and substantial. The noodles did puff a bit in the soup and were very, very tasty.

I made these noodles with my girls today just for fun. We found the dough a little hard to roll out but not impossible. They were very good with our spaghetti sauce and fun to know we made the Whole meal our selves from scratch. We were very proud!

This is a good general recipe for pasta. After reading a variety of the reviews its clear that most didn't mix the pasta long enough to allow the gluton in the flour to do their stuff and then allow it to rest for a half hour. Also, unless you have been making pasta for years, you will not have enough experience on how thin to roll it out. Pasta is generally very thin that is difficult to get to without a machine. I prefer to use 3 eggs and 2 egg yolks with a pinch of salt with that amount of ap flour.

Delicious! I recommend starting out with less flour for the well, though- maybe 4 cups and add more if needed. I always end up adding more eggs because it is too dry.

The mixture of only flour and eggs make a mound of flakes, this was a really bad recipe. I had to add olive oil and water to make it work. The adding of theses two ingredients work great the dough turned out perfectly when I added the ingredients. So I wouldn't ever use this recipe ever again!

this is a great basic pasta recipe, one i have used for almost a year now. it works best in casseroles, though, because the all purpose flour can kind of break apart. without a machine, one can roll it out fairly thin but probably not thin enough for a pasta dish. for pasta that holds together very well, use semolina flour instead. and a pinch of salt never hurts.
