If dough is too soft or sticky, add more flour. Alternatively, if dough is too stiff, add a bit of warm water. Form into a ball and sprinkle with flour or semolina (if handy).
Cover with a cloth and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes. Spread dough out onto your surface, which should be lightly floured (with regular flour or semolina if handy).

Using a rolling pin, begin rolling pasta out from center, until you reach the ideal thickness - the thinner the better!
If availble, you can pass the dough through pasta machine making sure to reach the thinnest layer available.
Fold each sheet several times over itself (dusting each fold with flour or semolina so it doesn't stick together) and cut with sharp knife into strips about .5cm wide. Unroll each strip into tagliatelle. Layer strips on tray sprinkled with more semolina or flour to avoid sticking.
You can also create the tagliatelle using a pasta machine attachment, if available.
