Notes
If you don't have a pasta machine you can roll the pasta dough by hand with a rolling pin. It takes a wee bit longer but you will still get a good homemade pasta.
Your pasta will keep for 2 days in the fridge or a month in the freezer.
Dried homemade pasta will keep for up to 6 months in an airtight container.
