Step 2 - Rolling pasta in a machine

Fix the machine on the side of the table. Flatten the dough with a rolling pin. Roll the dough using the thickest setting, then fold each sheet on itself and repeat. Seal the strip together to make a conveyor belt. Roll the pasta thinning it ach time on a finer setting until the pasta reaches setting number 5 on for Tagliatelle and linguini and number 6 for raviolis.
