I do love my Kitchenaid pasta attachment, but you can easily make pasta without one. All that is required is a little elbow grease to knead and roll out the dough.

How to Make Pasta Without a Machine
- Place flour and salt on a working surface. Make a well in the middle. Crack eggs and pour oil in the well.
- Slowly bring the flour inside the well and mix with your fingers or a fork. Form in a dough and knead for 5 minutes.
- Cover with a plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 parts. Roll each dough flat with a rolling pin.
- Fold the dough then cut pasta with a very sharp knife. The width depends on how you like yours. I like to cut about 1/4 inch.
