Roll the dough using both the fingers and the palm. - Work with small quantities of dough at time, and keep the rest always under the bowl, otherwise it will dry and crack.
- Take the pasta snake and put it in vertical, as it is looking at you. - Cut a piece of dough as big as a walnut, using a plain knife (and not a serrated one otherwise it will break the dough) and roll it toward you, against the wooden board.
