now
you need a machine to pull the pasta
but
if you don't have you can do in the old traditional way: with rolling
pin.
start
from a quite high level of pasta to arrive at one of the last size of
the machine: really thin. And then cut them in some parts, they don't
have to be too regular, don't worry.
