Can you roll out your own pasta?

Making pasta by hand, you use a rolling pin to mimic the action of a pasta maker: roll out a small piece of dough until it's paper thin, then use a knife to cut it into individual noodles. It takes a little more muscle and patience, but you can absolutely get the pasta as thin as you would using a machine.

Can I use all purpose flour for pasta?

All-purpose flour does what it says on the tin, so it's perfectly fine to use for making pasta. However, most pasta recipes will recommend either semola or “00” flour.

How do you dry homemade pasta?

If you want to dry your homemade pasta for future use, spread it in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Leave the pasta uncovered in a dry area for 12 to 24 hours, gently stirring and turning it a few times. Flour is fickle, so humidity, temperature, size of the noodles, etc. will all play a part in the total time.
