Method
 

Making the Pasta
  1. Prepare the Dough: Create a well on a floured surface and add the all-purpose flour, eggs, and the sourdough starter. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough by hand for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: Divide the rested dough into four pieces. Roll each piece thinly until about 1/16-inch thick.
  4. Drying (Optional): Lay cut noodles on a drying rack for 12-24 hours if not cooking immediately.
  5. Cooking the Pasta: Boil salted water and cook fresh pasta for 3-5 minutes or dried pasta for about 6 minutes, until al dente.
  6. Optional: Toss with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh herbs.
