4. Split the dough into 4, keep 3 covered. Roll the pasta through a pasta machine on the highest setting twice, then drop down the thickness once on the machine and run the pasta through twice again, keep repeating until on the thinnest setting, run through twice, then use the machine to cut into linguine. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

6. To cook add to boiling water with a little salt and olive oil and cook for 2-3 minutes.

 

Top Tip

Homemade pasta can be made into any shape or used for ravioli, just stop before cutting the dough into linguine.

I love serving my pasta simply with homemade pesto.
