  8. Pat into a disc and begin rolling with a floured pin.

  15. If making noodles like fettuccine lay a clean dish towel on a table near the edge and unroll the pasta on it letting about a third of the pasta sheet hang off rotate every 10 minutes do not let it overdry about 25-30 depending on your humidity.
  16. To cut fettuccine like noodles roll dough to lay flat about 4 inches wide and cut tagliolini in 1/8 inch fettuccine is 1/6 and tagliatelle is 1/4 inch. open and dry for 5 minutes before cooking.
