Tips:
- Be patient while kneading the dough. It may take some time for the flour and eggs to come together, but keep kneading until it forms a smooth dough.
- If you don’t have a pasta machine, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough as thin as possible. Dust the dough and the surface with flour to prevent sticking.
