This is the first time I have ever made fresh pasta. I read the reviews first and also watched a video made by someone using a blue kitchen aid machine so I was a little prepared. By the way, this was also my first attempt at using my brand new kitchen aid:). This pasta was fantastic. I used Italian durum semolina flour especially for pasta. I had read the reviews and knew that I would have to add more liquid. I added a tablespoon of olive oil and an extra quarter cup of water. The dough came together perfectly. I let it sit for about 10 minutes before putting it through the pasta machine. OMG, I am making this again and again and again. I don't eat eggs and this is just fantastic. I did let it sit and dry for a bit (45 minutes) before I cooked it. Amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Overall this was a great recipe. I made a full batch and the only hitch was it was dry and I needed to add extra water and I also added some olive oil as well. It finally stopped crumbling and came together nicely after requiring additional liquids. I had some frozen basil cubes from Trader Joes than I mixed into the pasta while kneading. I will make this again.

This was very good. I made as stated for a veggie lo mein recipe, but next time I will add some flavorings to the dough. As another review stated, I also had to add quite a bit more water than it said to. Probably because of where I live, it is very dry. Oh, I ran this through my new KitchenAid pasta roller and angel hair pasta cutter and it worked perfectly!

Very good and very easy! Easy for pasta from scratch, that is. ;) I halved the recipe for a small pasta dish I was making for my husband and I and used half wheat flour and half all-purpose flour, and about a tsp of dried basil and it made for great pasta. After I rolled out the pieces, I folded them in half lightly, cut noodles and hung them on hangers to dry for a bit until I was ready to cook them. They cooked up perfectly! I will definitely use this recipe again.

I recently transitioned to a vegan diet and pasta was one of the hardest things to give up! I love this recipe. I replaced a bit of the flour with a couple of tablespoons of ground flax seed and followed some suggestions to add Olive Oil and herbs. It was phenomenal! My kids (who have struggled with the vegan thing) couldn't get enough!

this is the best recipe for making fresh pasta. Sometimes I add liqufied spinach instead of the water...superdelicious and nutritious. I make it in my Kitchen Aid Pasta press...it`s sooooo easy! Also, I do add about 1 tsp of olive oil.

very good recipe made it with semolina/durham wheat flour i found the 1/2 cup water is far less then needed I added water a tbsp. at a time as it was mixing in my stand mixer. My husband really loves these noodles and since he is a heart patient they are not bad for him
