Shape the pasta: After the dough has rested, unwrap the dough and cut it into two equal pieces. Working with one piece of dough, roll it out with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface, just thin enough to go through the pasta machine. Run the dough through the pasta machine, starting at the thickest setting and reducing the setting after each pass of dough until the dough is about ⅛ inch thin and nearly translucent. Once your pasta is rolled out to your thickness of liking, cut it into 10-12 inch long sheets. Add the linguine or fettuccine cutter attachment to the pasta machine and pass the dough through, creating strands of linguine or fettuccine pasta. You can also cut the pasta by hand, lightly flour each sheet of pasta, roll it up crosswise and cut ¼ inch pieces of pasta crosswise. Lightly toss the pasta to detach the pieces of dough.
