Basic Pasta Dough

Harris Scafe have an exellant pasta machine ATM for $35....its very good...reduced from $70.

great recipe! just had to make it three times because i kept stuffing up the cooking time, WOOPS! haha

Kmart Have the Pasta Machines going for $12 at the moment!

Can I use wholemeal flour

what grade of flour was used.

thank you for the recipe, its the first time i have made pasta and i made it without the pasta maker, good old rolling tin, didnt take as lnog as i though either! only one little question when or how do i tell when the pasta is dry and ready to be cut, its been hangng for about an hour??

I have made pasta, but I cut the pasta b4 its dry, then I hang it up to dry or curl into loose balls and put on a tablecloth dusted with flour to dry, Works just as well. Nothing like fresh pasta. cooking time is greatly reduced so take care.

If you can afford a good machine, and afford the bit of time required....go for it, nothing like home made pasta, and it freezes well, so make a heap each time!

used the machine from big w only five times and it's broken. base was also very flimsy! took two people to hold and operate. I don't recommend it.

Big W sell the pasta machines for $25

Do you need to have a pasta making machine to make the pasta?

I don't have a pasta machine so I guess the old wooden rolling pin does the trick, just more slowly! Any further hints?

roughly how many people does this recipe make for?

Fio- Thanks for the great pasta recipe Neil.

how well do you whisk the eggs and when do you add the sea salt and how much
