In the end, you will still use your hands and experience the fun of rolling and cutting. There are some pasta shapes which have to be made on a wooden board, but the dough itself comes out perfectly using a machine. Good luck and I hope you let me know how it turns out. Perhaps you'll share how you used the pasta. Sara, this is one time when machinery makes little difference on the quality of the product.

I've never made fresh pasta before! The hardest part might actually be learning how to use the pasta machine cutter rather than making the dough! i know some people think modern machinery takes the fun out of doing it by hand, but i just bought myself a pasta machine last night and i can’t wait to try this recipe.

It will take longer to incorporate the flour when making pasta dough by hand, perhaps 10 minutes more than when you make pasta dough by machine. I hope this helps. Thanks for the inquiry!
