Just bought a pasta machine at the thrift store and made fresh pasta for the very first time. Turned out great ( well I over cooked it but that is my bust ). Can anyone tell me the best way to store the unused pasta? How long can I store it? I WILL be using this recipe again and again...

Have tried many pasta recipes and they varied from bad to okay. This recipe makes the best pasta ever, simply fantastic.

This works fine with four cups of regular flour instead of the 2+2. I added an extra egg. It was delicious.

I got an Atlas 150 pasta machine for Christmas. I used this recipe for my first homemade pasta. I started it in my Kitchenaid Stand Mixer with the paddle, then the dough hook. The bowl kept bounced off the holder, so I took the dough out and kneaded it by hand for 10 minutes. It came out perfect. I made 75 raviolis with a good amount of dough left over. Excellent recipe.

This is my first time making pasta! I'm so jazzed!!! It's awesome!! I mixed the ingredients in my KA stand mixer, then kneaded by hand. It was a bit dry so I added a few drops of water. After it rested in plastic wrap, it was definitely pliable and smooth!!! Running the pasta through my rollers were amazing! I was having so much fun!!! The pasta tasted so awesome! I love it!!! I made the red sauce that I use for pizza, which is also on this site. OH MY GOODNESS!!! I added ground turkey and sliced mushrooms. It was amazing! I'm definitely loving this recipe and will use it many times over!!! It's so easy to make! Oh...don't forget to put on Andrea Bocelli and have a glass of wine while you're making this!!!

Super easy when thrown together in a food processor--I measure the 4 cups of flour and pulse to blend. In a separate bowl I beat the eggs with the olive oil, pour over the blended flours and pulse till it comes together then I knead by hand for 8 minutes or so. This pasta dough rolls out like a dream and reminds me of fine parchment paper. It holds up way better than other pasta doughs I've used and even stands up to repeated trips through the pasta machine, which other doughs don't tolerate as well. Makes awesome ravioli and noodles. This is an absolute keeper!

This was my second attempt at fresh pasta, the first being two years ago and a disaster. I believe the semolina made all the difference and was worth a trip to the bulk food store. I was making ravioli without the aid of any machines. The dough was very supple to work with after following the chilling and resting tips. Thanks for helping me become a pasta maker!

I liked the taste of this pasta, but it was DRY!! I have made fresh pasta before, so I don't think the dryness was due to inexperience or poor measuring, etc. Needed at least one more egg, more olive oil, and water to make is pliable. It was a bear to get through our pasta machine because it was so dry. I am trying it again today, with additional liquid to see if that helps.

This was ny first attempt at making pasta with my pasta maker. I did watch a video online to see how to use the pasta machine. The pasta was very good and easy to prepare. I used this with an alfredo sauce. All in all, it is a good, basic recipe I will use again and again. I cut the recipe in half to make four servings and for us, it was enough to serve 5-6 persons with a salad and garlic bread. I enjoyed making my own pasta and even think this is something I can do with my grandkids.
