Drop your enough eggs to make 1/2 cup of eggs,or 1/2 cup of water in the middle and gently cover with some of the flour.
Start gently mixing and kneading.
Remember to add eggs or flour as needed. What you are looking for is a somewhat firm dough that will not stick to your fingers.
Once this is achieved, wrap in plastic paper and leave to rest for at least 30 minutes.
Roll it out by hand or use a pasta machine.
