Making your own pasta is not difficult at all. The recipe is really simple, what you need is experience. You probably have to try it a couple of times, until the dough will have the right consitence. Sometimes it will be to wet, so it sticks everywhere, the other time it will be to dry, then it's difficult to shape the pasta.
The easiest way to do your pasta is by using a pasta machine like the one shown in the picture below. Otherways you have to roll the dough by hand (use a rolling pin). The good think about the pasta machine is that it not only rolls the dough for you in the desired thickness, but it also kneads it for you.

Ingredients (see also Eggpasta on the RecipePage):
100 grams of flower (you can mix half wheat and half semolina or rye) for each person
1 egg each 100 grams of flower
olive oil
salt

Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients and knead them for at least 15 minutes. If the dough is to dry add some water (but not to much, it becames sticky easily; in case this happens just add some more flower). Then cover the dough with a piece of cloth and wait for 15 minutes. Then you can start to roll the dough until it is really thin. When you use the pasta machine you should let the dough trough a couple of times with the largest thickness, so it kneads the dough a little more.
After you got thin sheets of pasta, you can cut them into the shape you desire (by hand or with the machine): long stripes (tagliatelle), really thin stripes (rectangular spaghetti), or whichever shape you prefer. You can also cut round or square pieces and fill them with some kind of filling (spinach-ricotta, pumpkin, beef...) and close it. You can close them in different ways, so you get different kinds of filled pasta: ravioli, tortellini, tortelloni...
If you make tagliatelle or spaghetti be sure to dry them on the air for at least one day. The best way to eat them is with ragù (Bolognese sauce) .
