Cooking pasta at home usually means opening a window or a bag of dried pasta in boiling water, drain and wait up to 10 minutes. Why would anyone want to change this simple dish and process everything by hand?
In fact, for several reasons. First time in my head is the taste. Nothing comes close to the mouth, the experience that almost melt on homemade fresh pasta. To combine the taste and texture sauce really raise your dining experience, everything just because you have onea few minutes to yourself. Pasta should not be more tacky.
The second reason is, you can control what is in your pasta. They love the taste of pesto and basil or sun-dried tomatoes, well, you can add the pasta just like it. Do you want to use all organic ingredients? You can organic semolina. You can also control their own mixtures of flour and experience.

Fold the dough in half and feed the roll again. Repeat this about 4-7 times to develop the gluten and the consequentThe dough should be of silk.
