Knead it till it's smooth and elastic -- it should be pretty
stiff, too, compared to bread dough. Then let it sit, covered,
for 15-20 minutes. Then knead it some more by running small
batches through the rollers set at their maximum width. Every
time through, fold it in thirds and rotate it 90 degrees before
feeding it through again.

I always do this ten times before starting to close the rollers
up.

Let me know if you have other questions; I've made a boatload of
fresh pasta.

The award will be an excuse to take a vacation to Barcelona, even if
February wouldn't be the month I would chose.

Ciao,

Whew... had I read that 2 seconds earlier... my screen would have
been covered with coffee!

After you said it (okay, after I *read* what you wrote), I
re-read mine... you're right. It can, at first glance, read
"Feed it to the trollers".

What a hoot. I needed that today!

February is the month I have ALWAYS chosen to vacation in Barcelona: lodgings
cheap, tourists scarce, and you don't have to concern yourself about whether
the AC is installed or working.

I'm sure you've received lots of good advice. Here's another tip:
don't EVER wash the blades!!! Use a small brush to sweep away any
bits on it but don't wash it. I learned this the hard way with my
first Atlas pasta maker. I had to throw it away. I now have the
kitchenaid pasta rollers and they work great.

Many thanks to all who responded.

Ana Maria, I bookmarked your site. It's great!

Anna Maria, what a FABULOUS web page you have!! Thanks so much!

You do need to knead the dough like bread until the dough is elastic enough
to go through the pasta machine rollers without tearing.

Pasta dough is pretty stiff compared to bread dough, but it does need enough
liquid to be soft enough to be workable in the machine. Many people let the
kneaded dough rest, covered, for an hour before rolling - other say this
isn't necessary if you use a pasta machine (vs rolling it out by hand).
