How do you make fresh Jamie Oliver pasta?

How do you shape pasta without tools?

Can I roll pasta by hand?

For a pasta dough that could be easily rolled out by hand (but still cook up into delicate, springy noodles), we create a super-malleable dough that doesn't snap back when you roll it. A generous splash of olive oil coats the flour proteins and limits their ability to form gluten so the dough stays more elastic.
