Hope you perfect it soon!! I found this on the site of one of my favorite restaurants:

I make whatever pasta, wrap it and then lest rest for 30 minutes and then roll it out, cut and then hang it everywhere in the kitchen that I can. Still having a few consistency issues, but I love making homemade pasta. How is this going for you?

They are essentially: Take pasta flour in a bowl, make a depression and crack an egg into the depression, then use a fork and combine the flour into the egg. Work the dough with your hands until it makes a ball (add water by wetting your hands as needed). Let it rest in the fridge covered with a wet paper towel for an hour, then pinch off a bit and run it through the machine at the largest setting. Fold it over and do it again. Sprinkle a little flour on the dough each time and rub it in to prevent it from being too sticky. Shorten the setting and keep rolling it through the machine until you've finished the smallest setting. Then roll it through the cutter to make noodles.
