At this point you can proceed in two ways :

roll out the pastry by hand with a rolling pin to a thickness of 2 mm, taking care to dust it well with flour and create a compact, non-sticking rectangular pastry.

Or insert the dough into the pasta machine, I chose the Tescoma which among other things you can buy with an interesting promotion!

If you are using the pasta machine, you will have to insert the pastry sheet several times, at least 3 – 4 times, and repeat the operation, always sprinkling with flour, in order to obtain a thick, compact pastry that does not stick! this is the secret to perfect tagliolini!

Finally, once the pastry has been made, you can proceed to shape it
