Rolling and Cutting Noodles

Set the pasta rollers as far apart as possible, at the “kneading” opening. Flatten your piece of dough and dust a little flour on each side, then feed it through the machine. If the edges are ragged, fold the sides of the strip to the center and run it through again, repeating the folding (if necessary for smooth edges) and the rolling until the dough looks satiny and feels smooth. Then set the rollers closer together and roll the dough thinner. Continue to thin out the dough, resetting the machine notch by notch, until you reach the thickness you want. Lay the sheet of dough on a cloth to dry slightly while you knead and roll out the remaining dough.
