Notes
You can use this recipe for any pasta shape. It also works really well for lasagne. If making lasagne cook for 3 minutes before adding to the pasta dish.
If the pasta feels too wet when kneading this can be due to the size of the eggs. Simply add extra flour. Likewise if it is too dry then add more water.
