Gradually the dough will become more and more consistent.
Transfer to a pastry board or a wooden or marble top and work the dough vigorously for about 10 minutes, pulling it in all directions with the back of your hands.
Once it becomes smooth form a ball and wrap it in the film.
Let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Once it is rested, remove it from the film and cut a piece that you will use to form the first sheet.
Always cover the remaining dough with the film in order to prevent it from drying out.
Form a small ball, flour and help with a floured wooden rolling pin to form the pastry.
Let dry the floured pastry for a few minutes.
Then roll up the pastry and cut with a knife strips of about 8 mm.

Open the cut rolls and let them dry while waiting for cooking.
Continue in the same way with the other sheets of pasta.
Cook the fettuccine in boiling salted water and season as you like.
Here you have your homemade egg pasta to dress as you best want.
