I use the well method, make a depression in a big pile of semolina flour, then I add two eggs and slowly incorporate the flour into the eggs.
When the dough is formed, I need it by hand five minutes before I wrap it in plastic and put it in the fridge to rest.

It takes about 1 minute to cook fresh pasta dough. Drop it in boiling water and when it floats, it's done.

I usually don't go beyond 5 on my dough roller. I use a kitchenaid attachment that makes rolling pasta dough a snap.

Bought a pasta rack, when it gets here, I'm going to make a big batch then freeze it.

I wish I had the tools to make it. It's so much better than dried.


P.S. knead

I new something was wrong but it passed my spell checker.

I like making homemade pasta dough too but I need to learn how to make it with wheat flour now. I can't be eating all that white flour, the eggs are bad enough carbs as it is.

Since when do eggs have carbs?

I need to learn to make it myself... but I need to make it wheat Free.

Are you allergic to wheat? One of the guys I work with is but not bad enough that he has to watch everything he eats, just has to be a little careful.

When I eat wheat, I'll get really dark circles around my eyes. I just need to be careful and watch what I eat. My son on the other hand is little worse off. I hope he grows out of it. So we are trying to keep a really clean diet right now.
