      Fresh pasta is made by combining flour with eggs, salt and 
      sometimes a little olive oil or water.  Once a dough is formed it is 
      kneaded about 5 to 7 minutes, until smooth and glossy and indents slightly 
      when pressed. This texture phase is important to producing a final product 
      with a silky smooth texture.
 
      Once rolled the dough should rest at least an hour to aid 
      in the cutting down on the elasticity then cut into the noodles or shapes 
      needed. 
      Fresh pasta takes only a couple minutes to cook and must be 
      carefully watched to avoid over cooking.
