For best results, use a kitchen scale to measure your flour. 1 cup of all-purpose flour is approximately 120 grams. If you don't have a pasta machine, you can roll the dough out by hand with a rolling pin. Just be sure to roll it out as thinly as possible. Fresh pasta cooks very quickly, so keep a close eye on it while it's boiling. You can add flavorings to the dough, such as herbs or spices, to customize your pasta.
