This is how my family makes homemade pasta. Pictured below are some tagliatelle noodles and a few little farfallini, which i made just for practice.
The recipe we use is as follows: 1 egg and 3/4 cup of all purpose flour per every 1.5 persons. To feed 6 people, we use 4 eggs and 3 cups of flour.
To make the dough takes a long time amd lots of work. You would be better off watching a video on youtube about how to do it.
Once you have the dough, roll it out to a 6 or 7, then fold it into quarters and cut into finger width ribbons for tagliatelle. Gently unfold and leave to dry for a few minutes before cooking
Now for farfalle/farfallini, the process is a little different. Roll your dough out to your desired thickness, then cut horizontally with a raviolli roller and vertically witha knife, with a horizontal:vertical ratio of about 3:4. Then, lay your thumb on the edge of one of the little rectangles and scooch the other side inwards with your index finger, making a folded portion in the middle. Then, squash the folded part down lightly so it holds together.
To prepare, bring water to a medium-boil, not quite rolling, then dump your pasta in. Let it sit for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, then strain it out.
