Take your dough and portion it off into fist size pieces. With a dough roller, smoothen your dough out into a thin rectangular shape so it fits through your pasta machine.
Once you have a thin enough dough to fit through your thickest setting on your machine, insert your dough and begin cranking the lever. Once your dough comes out the other side, you'll notice its smooth, and thinner than when it started. You then want to feed the dough back through the pasta machine on the next thinner setting, and repeat until the dough is fed through all the settings. Most people like to stop on the second to last settings depending on the pasta machine.
Once you have your rectangular strips of dough from the first portion, set those aside an begin on your next portion of dough. Repeat the above steps with every piece or portioned dough until finished.
Let the dough sit for about 15 minutes before you feed it through your desired pasta attachment. Once you've chosen a pasta attachment, feed each piece of dough individually through the attachment. With your hand behind, except the dough so it doesn't get all bunched up in a pile and loose structure.
Repeat the above steps for all the dough you've created. You can cook the pasta right away, or set the dough aside to dry over night to obtain dry pasta.
