The steps of making pasta

First you have to start with good fresh ingredients...





Then you take 200 grams of flour and make a small well....



Add two eggs and stir....



And stir some more!


Then you have a small ball of pasta dough that you must knead gently.


After that, you must roll out the dough until it becomes very thin.....this takes a long time and the circle of dough becomes very large.



When the circle of dough becomes very large, you have to roll it onto the rolling pin in order to turn it. This is tricky because you must  NOT drop the dough!


Once the dough is very large, you must  hold it up to light to make sure there are no holes and that it is thin all around the circle.
