Homemade Pasta Noodles

I am a fourth generation Italian American. In our large Italian family, homemade pasta is #1. Our family takes pride in passing the pasta machine down the family tree but as our fast-paced lives progress many things take us out of the kitchen. Traditions become memories and stories of generations past and family techniques, inadvertently, become lost. I have been trained by three generations of strong women with traditional techniques to making homemade pasta noodles. My grandma patiently taught me to pay close attention to the type of flour selected, the weight of the egg, the temperature of the room, the moisture in the dough, the amount of time you handle the dough, and the most important part; the thickness of the dough. The ingredients may be the same as dried pasta, but the taste is better, and the texture is better.
