Let it rest for a few minutes. 

Step 5: Flatten With a Rolling Pin

Step 6: Pasta Roller

Roll the pasta dough through the pasta roller on the highest number.

Step 7: Almost There!

Gradually reduce the number as you roll (fold the pasta sheet over a couple times in the process)

Step 8: Cutting Dough Into Pasta

Once you’ve rolled it through the lowest number, cut it with the linguine option.

Step 9: Don't Clump Them Together!

Keep strands separated on a type of rack so the pasta doesn’t clump together.
