- Firmly knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball with no dry bits left, around 10 minutes
- Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces, leaving one aside to work with
- Wrap the remaining pieces in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying
- Flatten the quarter of pasta dough with your hands or a rolling pin until it is around 1/4″ thick
- Use a pasta machine to flatten the dough to as thin a sheet as possible, around 18″ long
- Cut the 18″ sheet in half (around 9″ long) and pass it through the fettuccine roller of your pasta machine
