Step 5Cut by Hand
Take your sheet of dough and sprinkle it front and back with a little flour. Don't put much flour because it will dry out the thin sheet of pasta.
Roll the sheet up and cut the roll into thin strips. As soon as you cut the strips un-roll them because they have a tendency to stick together.

To unroll the pasta, poke the center of the roll and grab the internal end. Then unfurl it from there with gravity and a couple shakes, rather than unrolling it like a carpet. Holding the noodle by one end, drop it straight down onto a spot on the table. Keep doing this with 8-10 noodles to make a nest of noodles. You can use this for portion control. 1 or 2 nests per person depending on the size. You can dry the pasta in this form, or just cook it immediately. If you make loose nests then the nest will unfurl in the water. If you make smaller tight nests, you can get then to stay in form and stick together. If these are cooked carefully you can make pretty cool dishes with them because of the shape. Search around on the web for "birds nest pasta"
